What is the Nuclear AMRC?

The Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre is owned by the University of Sheffield and is backed by industry leaders. Combining academic innovation with industry expertise, the Nuclear AMRC can help UK manufacturers improve capabilities and performance. The Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre helps UK manufacturers win work across the nuclear sector – in new build, operations and decommissioning – and in other quality-critical industries.

The Nuclear AMRC have 3 facilities at Rotherham, Birkenhead, and Derby. Nuclear AMRC Rotherham is the core facility of the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) at the University of Sheffield. Nuclear AMRC Derby (iHub) is in development and will give small and medium-sized businesses access to leading technological expertise, improving productivity and innovation across the region. Nuclear AMRC Birkenhead focuses on modular manufacturing process research.

The Nuclear AMRC can tap into a national network of manufacturing research excellence partners. By being part of an alliance of seven manufacturing research centres of the High-Value Manufacturing Catapult, if they come across a technology they are not experts in.

The Nuclear AMRC allow the use of their facilities to undertake research and development of new processes without losing downtime because of using your own machines. The NAMRC can also provide support with a bank of specialists and engineers able to provide expertise and advice.

The Nuclear AMRC offerings are open to all UK manufacturers. This enables the nuclear sector – and other high-value manufacturing industries to gain from the availability of an extensive supply chain.

The Nuclear AMRC Fit for Nuclear programme allows manufacturers to measure themselves against the standards of the nuclear industry. There is continued supply chain development support to improve the business if needed. The Fit For Nuclear programme is not provided anywhere else.
