Gwyndod supply chain mobilised to deliver UK’s first SMRs
What was announced
More than 400 suppliers came together on Ynys Môn to explore opportunities to support the delivery of Gwyndod.
Key points, in the publisher's words
- More than 400 suppliers from across North Wales, the UK and the international nuclear industry came together on Ynys Môn as Rolls-Royce SMR and Great British Energy – Nuclear (GBE-N) moved forward with plans to deliver the UK’s first small modular reactors at Gwyndod.
- The ‘Delivering Together’ conference, held at Coleg Menai’s Llangefni Campus, brought businesses face-to-face with the joint Gwyndod delivery team. It marked an important step in mobilising the supply chain and building the industrial capability needed to deliver this flagship project.
- Over two days, delegates heard about the opportunities from the programme, the capabilities and standards required and how businesses can prepare to become part of the supply chain. SMEs also received tailored guidance on how to engage with the wider Gwyndod project supply chain.
