\n

Around 200 stakeholders learned of the progress being made in decommissioning and cleaning up the legacy left from the earliest days of the UK\u2019s civil nuclear industry.<\/p>\n

The event, which also welcomed representatives from the communities around the NDA\u2019s 17 sites, featured innovative technology being developed by the nuclear supply chain.<\/p>\n

Some of the remote and robotic technologies that have been put into action on the NDA\u2019s sites were showcased.<\/p>\n

It was held at the South Gloucestershire College Berkeley Green Campus – formerly the Berkeley Centre \u2013 and played a vital research role for the UK civil nuclear industry.<\/p>\n

NDA Stakeholder Summit 2018<\/a><\/p>\n

David Peattie, NDA CEO, spoke about the importance of the event:<\/p>\n

\n

Maintaining productive relationships with our stakeholders is a vital part of the NDA\u2019s work and the Stakeholder Summit is an extremely helpful way of explaining the progress we\u2019re making in our decommissioning mission.<\/p>\n

Hosting this annual event at the former Berkeley Centre, which has been converted from an operational nuclear site to a leading University Technical College, is a great example of the NDA delivering its mission.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Stakeholder Summit aimed to encourage discussion about the NDA\u2019s work in delivering its mission focussing on progress in R&D, waste management, skills and socio-economic sustainability.<\/p>\n

An exhibition was set up highlighting how the NDA and its business units work together, while workshops saw delegates learn more about the UK\u2019s decommissioning challenge.<\/p>\n

The second day was devoted to discussing support for the socio-economic initiatives and the NDA\u2019s partnerships with its communities.<\/p>\n

This year the Summit welcomed international guests from a number of local authorities in Europe with nuclear sites in their areas. They learned how the NDA interacts with its communities and its world-leading work in civil nuclear decommissioning.<\/p>\n

Professor Melanie Brownridge, Head of Technology at the NDA, spoke at the event and said:<\/p>\n

\n

The Stakeholder Summit gives us an opportunity to communicate with people how R&D is helping us to deliver our mission and how the technology that we\u2019re deploying on our sites is helping us to achieve this mission safer, faster and cheaper.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
