We bring together the skills and expertise of the vast nuclear research community at The University of Manchester, spanning three faculties to co-ordinate the most advanced nuclear research capability in UK academia. This research covers the full fission fuel cycle, key aspects of fusion, health and social research. We create opportunities to grow the scale, scope and quality of the university’s nuclear activities, support development of distinctive features in Manchester’s nuclear research capability, and foster interdisciplinary collaboration. Our Dalton Cumbrian Facility provides the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research in radiation science in West Cumbria, and along with its sister site, the Robotics for Extreme Environments Laboratory, brings huge local and socio-economic benefit. We nurture strategic partnerships with academia, industry, regulators, and government, and engage with the wider public through school activities, community outreach and the media. Our Dalton Nuclear Policy Group works to offer advice and recommendation to policy-makers and other stakeholders, founded on impartial and evidence-based analysis. The Group includes senior thought leaders with extensive and varied experience across the UK's nuclear sector. Our latest position papers are: - Delivering advanced nuclear energy: the role of government - Siting implications of nuclear energy: a path to net zero - Nuclear energy for net zero: a strategy for action Read them at www.manchester.ac.uk/dalton-policy
