Together they will help ensure that the DWMP is ready for submission before Hinkley Point C goes live.<\/p>\n<p>Alan Sinclair, director and head of energy and natural resources at Turner &amp; Townsend UK, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be appointed to this important role. Independent verification is essential to ensuring that provisions for the UK\u2019s next generation nuclear assets are robust, transparent and deliverable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCarrying out this work at an early stage at Hinkley Point C helps ensure that long-term plans are credible and appropriately funded. We look forward to working with NUVIA and to deliver the assurance needed for one of the UK\u2019s most significant infrastructure projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicola Edson, director of technical services &amp; consulting at NUVIA UK, said: \u201cWe are delighted to support this programme with the technical insight our teams bring from across the nuclear sector. Our role is to work collaboratively to provide the clear analysis that helps ensure long term plans are grounded in sound technical understanding. We value the opportunity to contribute our expertise to work of such lasting importance.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Nuclear energy will be vital for emerging technologies<\/h3>\n<p>Announced in February, the government has established the Advanced Nuclear Framework, intended to boost investments into nuclear power technologies as part of a drive to establish a \u201cgolden age\u201d of nuclear power.<\/p>\n<p>In Hartlepool, a deal has been made to create 12 advanced modular reactors, and in Cottam, Nottinghamshire, an old coal-fired power station is set to become a small modular reactor-powered nuclear station.<\/p>\n<p>Minister for nuclear, Patrick Vallance, said: \u201cAdvanced nuclear technology could revolutionise how we power industry and propel the AI data centre boom \u2013 delivering more clean energy and jobs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are seizing the opportunity to become a frontrunner in this space as part of our golden age of nuclear, creating the conditions for the industry to flourish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/new-advanced-nuclear-framework-power-ai\/159006\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more
