Nuclear Institute - Central England Branch Annual Dinner 2018

摘要

Central England Branch held its annual dinner at Oxford Spires Four Pillars Hotel on 11 October, 2018. More than 120 guests attended the dinner which was hosted by the chairman of the branch, Dr Mehdi Askarieh. In welcoming guests, Dr Askarieh noted: "This June, the Government announced a £200 million sector deal for nuclear, including a £32 million boost pegged to kick-start a new manufacturing and R&D programme to develop potentially world-leading nuclear technologies. "The deal followed the announcement the Government was to enter into negotiations with Hitachi over the Wylfa Newydd project. The Government said the sector deal will spearhead Britain's move towards cleaner economic growth while promoting new opportunities in the sector including a focus on innovation to develop the technology and skills needed to maintain the UK's position as one of the world's leading nuclear countries. This is certainly an important time for the nuclear sector in the UK as new-build projects get under way to replace the current ageing generation."
