The Nuclear Power Committee is served by influential individuals speaking for the salient parts of a diverse sector.

The Committee meets three times a year and acts as a technical advisory panel to the Power Industries Board, representing all sectors of power generation.

Committee members represent the following areas:

  • 核监管
  • New build
  • Power generation
  • Research (fission & fusion)
  • Defence
  • Fuel cycle
  • Decommissioning
  • Contractors and construction
  • Academia.

Phil Rogers

Phil RogersTechnology Leader – Hydrogen, National Nuclear Laboratory

Dr Rogers is the UK National Nuclear Laboratory's lead on nuclear derived hydrogen covering production technologies and applications. He has a background on the UK's gas reactors and has 18 years’ experience in the UK and international nuclear market in various technical and business roles in consultancy and government advisory organisations. Phil has made a significant contribution to the recognition of nuclear derived hydrogen as a potentially important decarbonisation option in the UK and alongside colleagues is driving forward the Laboratory's Hydrogen Programme. This will extend the technical and economic evidence base for nuclear to support achieving Net Zero by 2050 through hydrogen and also synthetic fuels and industrial applications of heat.

What we do

  • Ensure that good engineering practice and exciting innovation in the nuclear sector is propagated to all interested members of the Institution
  • Ensure that the Institution listens and responds to topics members want to hear about
  • Communicate with a wider audience on nuclear engineering matters of public and national interest
  • Arrange events, talks, and web content
  • Engage with the Institution''s regional centres.
  • Publish reports and contribute to Institution policy statements and responses to questions from the government, media or the general public.

Objectives

  • Promote the safe use and application of engineering in all aspects of nuclear energy together with its standards
  • Influence decision makers on the merits of nuclear energy and to advise our Institution on nuclear energy matters
  • Stimulate debate over the engineering issues which arise in nuclear power generation and provide training/ professional development opportunities, especially for younger engineers
  • Promote a willingness to share with, inter alia, the engineering institutions, BNES and BNIF in the management and organisation of nuclear related activities, to avoid duplication and to maximise interest and value.
