Meet Melissa, who joined Learn Live UK last week to share her journey from nursing student to nuclear apprentice. Now a second-year apprentice at UKNNL, she's running independent trials on our non-active rig in Workington and confidently presenting technical data to customers.

This British Science Week we're highlighting how our scientists are changing nuclear energy so we can all adapt to climate challenges. Coated particle fuel is revolutionary: Three tiny kernels produce just as much energy as burning 1kg of coal. It’s one of the safest and most

You asked, we answered. After receiving many questions about our water can claim, we asked our reactor physicist Temi to explain the maths behind it. ⚛️ Here's what the numbers reveal: 🔬 121g of uranium-235 in a standard 330ml can generates 2.9 million kilowatt hours 🔌 This
