NOF is delighted to be working in partnership with the Nuclear Institute to organise a Nuclear Conference & Exhibition followed by a Dinner, on Thursday 23 May 2024 at Ramside Hall Hotel, Durham.

The nuclear industry now has a significant role in the transition to net zero

In North East England, X-energy and Community Nuclear Power (CNP) wish to build nuclear plants which support the need for energy security and provide high-temperature heat for process industries.

Rolls Royce has been leading in the UK on SMRs and two possible sites for their new factory are in North East England.

Join us at our Nuclear Conference, Exhibition & Dinner to find out more. This event is ideal for companies who wish to become involved in SMRs, as well as those already in the nuclear industry.
