<p>The UK's fuel manufacturing capability has been developed and maintained since the earliest days of nuclear power, resulting in a level of fuel cycle expertise that few other countries can claim. The Springfields Fuels production facilities, near Preston, produce the unique design of fuel required by all the UK AGR reactors and will continue to do so well into the next decade.</p><p>The Nuclear Industrial Strategy, and its supporting documents, set out both Government and Industry's aims to further develop the UK's fuel manufacturing capability up to 2050. This included working to establish a Nuclear Fuel Centre for Excellence as one of a number of complementary research facilities supporting the UK's nuclear sector.</p> |
