The case for nuclear new build as part of a low carbon economy is compelling. The Government has signalled its wish for a fleet of new nuclear power stations to be built and is championing a number of facilitative actions to encourage the market to respond. Our unparalled nuclear experience in both the military and civil nuclear sectors means that Babcock is well placed to respond to the emerging opportunities.
Our key skills and expertise come from being an operator / licensee of nuclear facilities and our experience of major nuclear projects, engineering and site services support to operational facilities and decommissioning. With the largest nuclear-capable workforce of any contractor in the UK, extensive nuclear facilities and a proven supply chain capability we have the capacity to support our existing nuclear customers and nuclear new build.
We were involved throughout the Magnox, AGR and PWR programmes providing engineering, equipment and construction services and remain a strategic supplier to the present day Utilities. Our commitment to nuclear power generation remains undiminished and we look forward to being involved in a future new build programme.
