Materials R&D for Nuclear Applications - The UK's Emerging Opportunities
The latest report issued by Materials UK is a review carried out by the Dalton Institute on behalf of Materials UK.
The review looks at the opportunities for UK organisations to develop and deploy innovative technologies to support the civil nuclear industry against the following criteria:
1 Is there a UK capacity to develop and exploit the technology and become a leading global player?
2 Does the technology have potential for impact in the right time frame?
3 Is there a clear role for public sector intervention and support that adds value above and beyond that of private investment?

Nanotechnology: a UK Industry View
The report entitled “Nanotechnology: a UK Industry View” details work carried out by the Mini-IGT following Lord Drayson’s launch of the Government evidence gathering website on 7th July 2009 with the announcement that the UK would develop a Nanotechnology Strategy.
The report has been prepared on behalf of industry to provide a market wide view of what is required to ensure that nanotechnology based industries are successful in the UK. It has been actively endorsed by a Steering and Review Group comprising 46 leaders from industry, academia, research and technology organisations and trade associations.
