Economic Strike Price
UK Imperatives Civil Nuclear
Develop UK Advanced Manufacturing Capability and Capacity
UK Imperatives Civil Nuclear
Creating long term, sustainable, high value jobs
UK Imperatives Civil Nuclear
Site of the Advanced Manufacturing Park – Orgreave Coal Mining Restoration Scheme (1994)
Coking works – 1990 before demolition
Cleaned up extensive contamination and dereliction from 200 years of miningRecovered four million tonnes of shallow coal reserves
Nuclear AMRC Purpose
To help UK manufacturers win work
Nuclear AMRC Key Objectives
1. To raise the quality, capability and cost-competitiveness of the UK civil nuclear manufacturing supply chain, to a level of “best global practice”
2. To work with UK Manufacturers and develop world-leading manufacturing processes and technologies
