UK launches nuclear skills strategic plan

摘要

The Nuclear Skills Strategy Group (NSSG) has launched a Nuclear Skills Strategic Plan to ensure UK nuclear employers can recruit skilled people at the required rate to meet the sector's ambitious forward programme. The plan was announced at Nuclear 2016, the Nuclear Industry Association's annual conference in London. The NSSG is an industry-led strategic group, comprising employers, government and trade unions representing both the civil and defence sectors. The strategic plan is a successor document to the British government's 'Sustaining Our Nuclear Skills', which helped assess the current skills provision across the sector and highlight progress made. Doors installed at Sellafield silo The pile fuel cladding silo at Sellafield is a step closer to being cleaned up, thanks to the installation of six 12.4-tonne stainless steel doors designed to open the building's locked vaults. The silo is one of the 'big four' legacy facilities at the Sellafield site in Cumbria. Sellafield Ltd said the doors will be the access point for waste retrieval machinery to begin safely lifting out the silo's contents for the first time. The first door arrived at the site in August 2016, following years of design, planning, manufacture and testing at the Rosyth site of supply chain partners Bechtel Cavendish Nuclear Solutions and BMT.
