The University of Sheffield Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre was created in 2009 to help UK companies win work in the nuclear sector.
We operate across nuclear new build, operations, decommissioning and technology development, and in other high-value low-carbon manufacturing industries. Our manufacturing innovation capabilities are open to all UK manufacturers, from specialist SMEs to top-tier OEMs.
Our engineers and sector specialists work with companies to develop innovative techniques and optimised processes for large-scale high-precision manufacturing. You can use our state-of-the-art workshops to develop and test new processes on production-scale machines, without losing capacity in your own factory.
We have also developed a range of supply chain development support to help manufacturers enter the nuclear market and compete worldwide. Our flagship Fit For Nuclear programme, launched in 2011, is a unique diagnostic tool which lets you measure your operations against industry requirements, drive improvements and close any gaps.
The Nuclear AMRC is owned by the University of Sheffield. Our research factory at the Advanced Manufacturing Park in South Yorkshire forms part of a world-leading innovation cluster alongside the University of Sheffield AMRC, AMRC Training Centre and a host of high-value manufacturing companies.
Our facilities include Nuclear AMRC Midlands at Infinity Park, Derby.
We are part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, a national network of seven specialist industry-focused research centres. Established and supported by Innovate UK, the High Value Manufacturing Catapult bridges the gap between business and academia, helping to turn great ideas into commercial realities by providing access to otherwise out-of-reach world-class R&D facilities.
