The Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (Nuclear AMRC) is a collaboration of academic and industrial partners from across the nuclear manufacturing supply chain.
Our mission is to:
- Enhance the capabilities and competitiveness of the UK civil nuclear manufacturing industry.
- Work with members to develop world-leading manufacturing processes and technologies.
- Help British manufacturing companies compete for nuclear contracts worldwide.
- Become the focal point for Britain’s civil nuclear manufacturing industry.
The Nuclear AMRC brings together the manufacturing and engineering expertise of the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, the nuclear and materials technology capacity of The University of Manchester’s Dalton Nuclear Institute and the experience and resources of industry leaders.
We are part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult (formerly the Technology & Innovation Centre for High Value Manufacturing), backed by the Technology Strategy Board.
Our founder members are Areva, Westinghouse, Rolls-Royce, Sheffield Forgemasters and Tata Steel. We currently have 26 member companies.
The Nuclear AMRC is supported by EDF Energy and NIA.
Delivery partners include the Manufacturing Advisory Service and the National Skills Academy for Nuclear.
Development of the Nuclear AMRC has been funded by BIS, ERDF, Yorkshire Forward and NWDA.
