Following a successful opening in September 2016, the South West Nuclear Hub started welcoming its members. Out of these, in November 2016 EDF Energy joined the South West Nuclear Hub. This is a significant step in the implementation of the Hub’s delivery model, and a testimony to the fact that EDF Energy, the EDF Group and Bristol University have long been strategic partners.
