UK Nuclear Fission R&D Catalogue: Facilities, Equipment and Capabilities UK Nuclear Fission R&D Catalogue: Facilities, Equipment and Capabilities FIRST EDITION- AUGUST 2021 1 3 I’m delighted with the response by UK organisations in support of this request from BEIS to showcase UK fission R&D facilities. The production of this catalogue follows a catalogue to give an overview of UK nuclear recommendation from the Nuclear Innovation fission R&D facilities, equipment and Research Advisory Board (NIRAB), that and capabilities. the UK government through the department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy It is hoped that this catalogue will be of use (BEIS), should commission the production of to small and large companies, government a catalogue of the UK civil nuclear research departments, laboratories and academic facilities and capabilities. institutes alike to better inform projects, programmes and investment decisions NIRAB recommended to include clear regarding the potential for collaboration and precise access arrangements (where and shared use of facilities and expertise. applicable) for both academic and industrial users. This catalogue responds to this bringing I hope that you find this catalogue as useful together and building on existing information as I have, to understand the breadth of about UK nuclear fission R&D facilities. It equipment and capabilities we have in the UK, aims to provide a comprehensive list of all or maybe you are looking for a very specific equipment and capabilities, updated contacts capability to support your research. Whatever for users and access requirements. has brought you to this catalogue, I have confidence you will find it useful. The information in these pages has been provided by the organisations listed, NIRO have complied these submissions into the Dan Mathers Executive Director Nuclear Innovation and Research Office (NIRO) 1 1 4 5 Locations Overview The page opposite illustrates how the Facilities, Equipment and Capabilities are spread out across the UK demonstrating how nuclear fission R&D is being undertaken across the length and breadth of our shores. This catalogue is presented with all the industrial facilities first in alphabetical order of company and then academic facilities also in alphabetical order. The following contents pages will help direct you if you are looking for something specific or feel free to browse through the whole catalogue. Do enjoy using the catalogue and we look forward to working with the contributors to update and further show case our excellent nuclear fission R&D Facilities, Equipment and Capabilities. 1 1 6 7 Contents Contents Page 11 Page 12 Page 13 Page 14 Page 15 Page 31 Page 32 Page 33 Page 34 Page 35 INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES Industrial Facilities Cavendish Nuclear Cavendish Nuclear Cavendish Nuclear Cavendish Nuclear Nuclear Advanced Nuclear Advanced Nuclear Advanced Nuclear Advanced Nuclear Advanced Field Services Greeson Court Laboratories Greeson Court Laboratories Metrology Manufacturing Research Manufacturing Research Manufacturing Research Manufacturing Research Manufacturing Research Environmental Analytical Internal Dosimetry Analysis Centre Centre Centre Centre Centre Services & Berkeley ADS Anchor Technology -

Built in 1879, the Works is a fine example of a courtyard-style multi-workshop cutlery factory and is of architectural and historic importance. The Society originated from a four year campaign to save the building from conversion to flats and retain its original function as a site of industry and creativity. Broad community involvement and extensive media coverage was achieved, delivering a strong argument for an alternative future for the building and raising sufficient funds for its purchase.
