Project FORCE will deliver R&D to support development of the UK’s capability in nuclear materials, advanced manufacturing and modular build for the reactors of the future.
Energy Minister, Richard Harrington said: “The UK has a world leading nuclear industry which is of key strategic importance to the country. These contracts, worth over £2 million, will bring Frazer-Nash together with other leading organisations and have a big part to play in delivering the Government’s Clean Growth Plan and Industrial Strategy.”
