TNIBF recently awarded a community grant to Constructionarium to support their ‘Nuclear Island’ event.

A group of engineering and construction students from the University of East London gained skills critical for the future development of nuclear infrastructure. The students constructed a scaled replica of a nuclear power station, mirroring the complex safety, logistical, and sequencing demands found in projects like
the upcoming Sizewell C nuclear power station.

Julia Stevens, Chief Executive of Constructionarium, said: “With Government’s recent announcement about investment to build the new Sizewell C nuclear plant in Suffolk and national focus sharpening on energy security and low-carbon generation, Constructionarium is helping to address the skills shortage by equipping students and early careers employees with the skills they need to become our future infrastructure professionals. Our immersive approach and the scale of our projects creates a learning environment that is truly unique in the world.”

Sam Knight, Manager, TNIBF said “This was the first community grant that we have awarded so we are thrilled that the event was a huge success. We are proud to be supporting the future of the UK nuclear industry”
