Great APPG event on #CleanEnergy in #SouthWales & #WesternEngland
We heard about the region’s strengths in:
☢️ Nuclear
🌬️ Onshore & Offshore Wind
🌊Tidal
🧪 Hydrogen
And how the APPG can support the sector to deliver on UK Govt’s mission to make 🇬🇧 a Clean Energy Super Power!

Fantastic day at @SWNuclearHub Showcase event hearing about the importance of nuclear in achieving #NetZero targets, the value of collaboration, the strengths and innovation within our region and opportunities including skills and career pathways.
We’ve had a fantastic day opening the door to over 100 representatives from the nuclear industry and academia as part of the first South West Nuclear Hub Showcase event!

Check out the latest @geology_bites podcast, featuring yours truly! Learn more about how geology provides us with safe containment for radioactive waste and the #mineral templates to keep it immobilised for millennia: geologybites.com/ @UoBEarthScience @SWNuclearHub☢️
Listen to @clairecorkhill on geological storage of radioactive waste. Both geological and some imponderable societal considerations factor in when thinking about 100s of millennia into the future. #geology #bristoluniversity #nuclearpower
