Our Work
Our work addresses specific issues and challenges facing Government and the UK nuclear sector, with the aim of fostering greater cooperation and coordination across the UK’s nuclear research and innovation capability.
Our work involves monitoring the delivery and impact of the DESNZ Nuclear Innovation Programme and making recommendations.
We advise on matters such as innovation and identify opportunities for collaboration.
We support the development of recommendations for new research and innovation programmes and oversee a regular review of the nuclear research and innovation landscape.
The following table provides examples of the areas in which expertise is sought, the list is not intended to be exhaustive and we invite expressions of interest from experts with specialisms in areas not listed but where they feel Government may benefit from provision within the remit of NIRAB outlined:
