Nuclear Power - a growth industry



A BRIGHT FUTURE:
Around 6 new nuclear power stations are needed by 2025 (in reality we need them much sooner) in order to meet our electricity needs. We currently have 16 reactors but they are all due to be retired before 2023. The new build will create a demand for a huge number of apprentices and STEM graduates (mainly engineers and physicists). In order to give people a taster of the industry Cogent has launched ‘Nuclear Island’ which is a weeklong work experience on various aspects of the industry for engineering undergraduates, see www.nuclearisland.co.uk. For details of degree courses that contain elements particularly relevant to the sector see; http://nuclearliaison.com/ni-courses.
