Becoming a member

Full membership of the Nuclear AMRC is open to companies currently operating in, or serious about joining, the civil nuclear supply chain.

Member companies benefit from:

  • Privileged access to world-class R&D capabilities.
  • Participation in generic R&D programmes, with shared costs and risks.
  • Ability to set the research agenda.
  • Privileged access to training and quality programmes.
  • Networking opportunities with companies along the manufacturing supply chain.
  • Industry recognition through association with a world-class centre of excellence.

The Nuclear AMRC has a two-tier membership structure for full fee-paying members. The appropriate tier depends on the size of your company and its position in the civil nuclear manufacturing supply chain. The annual fee is a contribution towards our shared resources, including generic research projects.

Tier 1:

  • Industry leaders – primes and top-tier suppliers
  • Seat on the Nuclear AMRC board
  • Determine strategy and research direction
  • Access to R&D
  • Annual fee of £200,000, cash or in kind

Tier 2:

  • Supply chain and smaller companies
  • Board representation – one seat for all Tier 2 companies
  • Access to R&D
  • Networking and supply chain development
  • Annual fee of £30,000, cash or in kind

A membership application is usually submitted following discussions with the Nuclear AMRC business development managers and directors, to make sure that membership is right for your business. Membership is then subject to approval by the Nuclear AMRC Programme Board. Membership may be declined for companies which are in direct competition with existing members.

To start discussions about becoming a member of the Nuclear AMRC, please contact Stephen Clements.

If full membership is not right for you at this time, please see our page on the other opportunities we offer to companies involved in nuclear manufacturing.
