The EMpower scheme gives Environmental, Earth and other Science MSc students, who would not necessarily consider employment in the industry, exposure to the Nuclear Sector through research project placements and other activities such as lecture days, visits and other networking opportunities. It brings together students, academics and the Nuclear Industry through its activities and a high-profile Lecture Day held in September each year.

Who supports us?

The scheme is supported by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Health & Safety Executive – Nuclear Installations Inspectorate, Environment Agency, Cogent, British Energy/EDF, AWE – Aldermaston, Magnox, National Physical Laboratory, National Nuclear Laboratory, Sellafield & Babcock Ltd
