The North West Nuclear Arc Science and Innovation Audit The North West Nuclear Arc Science and Innovation Audit A Science and Innovation Audit Report sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy. 2018 FOREWORD Dame Sue Ion The nuclear sector in the UK faces a period of unprecedented change. While Government still sees Dame Sue Ion has over 30 years’ nuclear energy as part of a balanced energy mix, and experience in the nuclear sector in a the new build project at Hinkley is proceeding, the wide variety of roles, and has acted recent developments at Wylfa Newydd and Moorside as an expert advisor to Government illustrate the huge challenges still faced by the sector. on all aspects of nuclear energy. She There is no intrinsic reason why nuclear projects should is a Fellow of the Royal Academy be late and over budget, but they often are and, as of Engineering and a Fellow of the renewables become increasingly competitive and tough Royal Society. She resides in the questions about the cost of dealing with our nuclear North West Nuclear Arc. legacy are asked, the sector needs to respond. There is an appetite for change among all nuclear stakeholders, but it is not yet clear what form this change might take, or how radical this change could be. In these circumstances this Science and Innovation Audit of the Northwest Nuclear Arc is very timely. It highlights the globally significant science and innovation assets in the area, with world-class research facilities and internationally renowned organisations, and identifies the major economic contribution the nuclear industry makes. It also shows how the whole could be so much more than the present sum of the parts, with particular positive impact in disadvantaged, predominantly rural areas, if we can integrate the individual elements more effectively, drive cultural and organisational changes across the sector, and find new ways to develop the skills we need. These are unique challenges, but the Northwest Nuclear Arc, with its emphasis on innovation and cross sector leverage across all aspects of the nuclear landscape, is uniquely placed to meet them. 2 CONTENTS A Science and Innovation Audit Report sponsored by the Department for Business 1.

SIAs enable local consortia to focus on analysing regional strengths and identify mechanisms to realise their potential. In the North West of England and North Wales, a consortium was formed in 2017 to focus on our strength in the Nuclear Sector. This report presents the results which includes broad-ranging analysis of the North West Nuclear Arc’s (NWNA) capabilities, the challenges and the substantial opportunities for future economic growth. The future success of the [nuclear] industry is central to achieving the Clean Growth Grand Challenge set out in the Industrial Strategy; to maximise the advantages for UK industries of the global shift to cleaner forms of economic growth. The UK nuclear sector, with its historical strength and skilled workforce across the country, is well-placed to capture that opportunity. June 2018, the Nuclear Sector Deal. The World Energy Outlook1 projects that global energy demand will rise by 30% between today and 2040. Based on the ‘Sustainable Development Scenario’, with power generation all but decarbonised, nuclear power use is predicted to grow up to 15%, an increase of nearly 5%. Nuclear power will continue to be a key part of the Government’s commitment to Clean Growth, one of four Grand Challenges in the Industrial Strategy. The Government seeks to enhance the UK’s nuclear commercial base and global market share. The NWNA consortium comprises Bangor University, Welsh Government, the Dalton Institute (University of Manchester) and the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL). The focus of the SIA is on the strengths and capabilities of civil nuclear energy, in NW England and North Wales, with an easterly extension to take in Sheffield and Leeds. The vision is that it is possible to re-engineer the nuclear sector, driving 30% reductions in cost and time, without compromising safety and security,2 and that the NWNA is uniquely positioned to maximise the opportunity for the UK. The view in the NWNA is that it can bring about lasting economic benefits and prosperity through innovation in the sector, working in partnership with Industry, academia, regional government and local communities to transform the UK‘s nuclear industrial capability and enhance its global presence. 1http://www.iea.org/Textbase/npsum/weo2017SUM.pdf 2https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/665473/The_Nuclear_Sector_ Deal_171206.pdf 5 The Audit People & Skills The results of the SIA show that nowhere Nowhere else in Europe is so much nuclear else in Europe is so much nuclear expertise expertise so concentrated, with unparalleled so concentrated, with unparalleled access to access to a world-renowned skills base and a world-renowned skills base and pioneering pioneering expertise in nuclear research and expertise in nuclear research and development. development.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.
