AMR Workshop Resources
Bangor University’s Nuclear Future Institute (NFI) hosted a workshop on the 5th May 2021 to discuss the role that AMRs can play in the delivery of the Government’s plan. The aim was to bring together a diverse range of experts to explore how the UK’s past, present and likely future capability could be aligned to seize the SMR/AMR opportunity to address key energy and climate change issues that we face as a nation and as a planet.
A report resulted from this AMR workshop which is described on its own dedicated page. Click here to be taken to the AMR Report page.
