The Forum brings together top figures from across the nuclear industry to support and advise the new Office for Nuclear Development in creating the right conditions for new nuclear power stations to be built in the UK as soon as possible.

During the meeting, Hutton will also focus on the huge opportunity for British manufacturers to become part of the UK's new nuclear ambitions. He will highlight the benefits of as much as possible of the predicted £20 billion private sector investment and 100,000 jobs that could be created from new nuclear power stations to be secured for the UK.

But with strong competition from such countries as China - which has plans for 24 nuclear plants and outline proposals for another 76 - a strong British supply chain will be ideally positioned to benefit and provide the valuable equipment and skills necessary.
