Discover Nuclear
What we do.
Destination Nuclear opens doors to a world where innovation sparks clean energy solutions, and technology enables the UK to protect itself round-the-clock, every second of every day.
Nuclear makes a positive difference to our everyday lives.
Energy resilience
Nuclear gives us resilience. It is critical that we ensure that the UK is more energy independent, secure, and resilient as we make the transition to Net Zero.
Security
For well over half a century, nuclear technology has enabled the UK to protect itself from the gravest threats imaginable. It is integral to our national security.
Prosperity
It’s hard to overlook the sheer value nuclear brings to our economy – it is vast and has an extensive reach into our supply chain and broader employers.
Nuclear is an exciting area of growth. The civil and defence nuclear workforce will need to double over the next 20 years.
Re-skilling the workforce of today for tomorrow
The sector is investing in recruiting and developing a highly skilled workforce as it accelerates its growth and innovation. This includes working with other sectors and developing training programmes to re-skill people who may be transferring from other industries.
Techniques already being used by those working in other sectors such as construction and manufacturing — including digital, robotics and artificial intelligence — can also be harnessed to fill nuclear roles such as welders, project planners, civil and structural engineers.
The role of nuclear in the future of the UK
The UK's commitment to harnessing nuclear as a key element of its defence strategy and clean energy transition, backed by substantial government investment, underscores its national recognition as a critical sector.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is embedded in our DNA, we all see the world differently and those collective ideas are our biggest strength as a sector.
