    The Nuclear Department

    The Nuclear Department (ND) provides academic training and education for naval and civilian personnel appointed to posts in support of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Programme (NNPP). The ND also provides training for RN and civilian personnel appointed to post in support of the shore-based elements of the NNPP, and several bespoke courses are provided for the wider UK nuclear industry. These courses range from short introductory-level courses targeting a wide audience, through to an advanced MSc-level course for nuclear design engineers. Specialist training is also provided in areas as diverse as health physics, instrument calibration, nuclear decommissioning and radiochemistry. ND teaching is kept up-to-date by staff undertaking research in a range of nuclear fields, the results of which feed directly into MoD's wider NNPP research programme.

  1. Nuclear Decommissioning Authority NDA

    NDA offers a workshop on new waste storage guidelines, which aims to bring all UK store operators together, including NDA, British Energy and the MoD. Discussions will focus on experience to date, lessons that can be learned, areas to share information, road-testing of the emerging guidelines and future direction for the guidelines.
    Ultimately, the goal is to ensure a consistent and robust approach to packaging and store lifetimes across the UK, as well as enhance the confidence of regulators, Government and local stakeholders.
