The production of the UK Fission R&D Catalogue followed a recommendation from the Nuclear Innovation and Research Advisory Board (NIRAB), that the UK government through the department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), should commission the production of a catalogue of the UK civil nuclear research facilities and capabilities. Issue 1 of the Fission R&D Catalogue was published in August 2021, showcasing 95 facilities across the UK with the aim to provide a comprehensive list of all equipment and capabilities, updated contacts for users and access requirements.
This updated edition of the catalogue now provides information for 166 UK facilities, helping small and large companies, government departments, laboratories and academic institutes alike to better inform projects, programmes and investment decisions regarding the potential for collaboration and shared use of facilities and expertise. The information in these pages has been provided by the organisations listed, NIRO have complied these submissions into the catalogue to give an overview of UK Nuclear Fission R&D facilities, equipment and capabilities.
