Serco - Nuclear branch

Serco has had an integral role in the UK civil and defence nuclear industries for the past 50 years.

Serco’s Technical and Assurance Services business provides specialist technical support to the UK nuclear industry. It provides expert safety, environmental, risk and asset management advice and operational solutions to many of the UK’s civil nuclear sites. For nearly half a century, it has been providing independent specialist nuclear safety advice to the Royal Navy in support of their nuclear submarine fleet.

Since 2000, Serco has been entrusted with the management of the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE), which provides the warheads for the UK’s independent nuclear deterrent. We do this as part of AWE Management Limited (AWEML), a 25-year joint venture with Lockheed Martin UK and BNFL.

Our primary role through AWEML is to provide advice and governance to the management of AWE plc and bring the experience and expertise of the parent companies to bear on AWE’s development.

We have worked together to create a new nuclear programme and project management academy for AWE staff, which is now up and running, with almost a quarter of the staff being trained in the first year.

This lecture will be in LTA in the Geography building.

There are currently no active polls on the site, but there will be soon!
