The Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) is the trade association for the civil nuclear industry in the UK, representing over 280 member companies across the supply chain.
Members The NIA represents companies across the nuclear supply chain, including the operators of the nuclear power stations, those engaged in decommissioning, waste management, nuclear liabilities management and all aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle, nuclear equipment suppliers, engineering and construction firms, nuclear research organisations, and legal, financial and consultancy companies.
Leadership Tom Greatrex is the NIA's chief executive. Appointed in February 2016, he succeeded Keith Parker, who had been chief executive for more than a decade. Tom Greatrex was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Rutherglen and Hamilton West between 2010 and 2015. During this time, he served as the Shadow Minister for Scotland and the Shadow Minister for the Department of Energy and Climate Change.
A board of directors, made up of nuclear industry professionals, oversees the organisation's direction. The chair is Lord Iain McNicol.
Services The NIA organises business group meetings. NIA members can access a Trade Directory to find products and services from UK-based companies in the nuclear sector. Member subscriptions pay for all NIA activity.
Conferences The NIA hosts conferences about the UK nuclear industry, covering topics from decommissioning to new build. The NIA also hosts an annual conference. Previous annual conference speakers include the Energy Ministers Charles Hendry, Andrea Leadsom, and Ed Miliband.
Campaigns The NIA ran a campaign called "re: generation" that aimed to engage young people on issues related to energy, the types of jobs available in the nuclear sector through the apprenticeship and graduate routes and the nuclear industry’s STEM initiatives.
