“NTR-Net will be crucial to making sure the UK understands the evolving proliferation threat and develops the skilled experts who can address the challenges that arise. It also emphasises our commitment to nuclear threat reduction as highlighted by the Prime Minister in his foreword to the recent Defence Nuclear Command Paper.”
“Nuclear Threat Reduction is a necessary requirement in an unpredictable world with nuclear technology.
NTR-Net will support a vibrant skills pipeline of doctoral researchers; linking academia, industry and government while delivering fundamental science across the breadth of the NTR needs.”
“The UK is a major player in the use of nuclear energy to reduce the threats from global climate change. However, it is incumbent upon us not to worsen other threats, such as those from the proliferation of nuclear weapons and nuclear terrorism. Rather than trade-off one fear against the other, there is the opportunity to make progress in all dimensions. NTR-Net will help the UK, and the world, deliver nuclear solutions responsibly.”
“This programme will make key contributions to the UK’s NTR responsibilities through science and technology innovations and training the future subject matter experts.”
