	Centre for Advanced Structural Ceramics (CASC) CASC started in July 2008 and has since become an industrial consortium to continue long-term and fruitful relationships between CASC-associated academics and the UK’s industrial structural ceramics community.
	Rolls-Royce Nuclear University Technology Centre The Imperial Nuclear UTC is unique in its breadth addressing nuclear engineering research of relevance to Rolls-Royce which includes: Materials Performance, Micromechanics, Non-destructive Evaluation, Radiation Transport, Structural Integrity, Thermal Hydraulics and Tribology.
	RCNDE RCNDE is an EPSRC-sponsored collaboration between industry and academia to coordinate research into NDE technologies, and to ensure research topics are relevant to the medium to longer-term needs of industry.
	Energy Futures Lab The Energy Futures Lab builds on the high-quality research across Imperial in areas including energy efficiency, nuclear power, renewable energy, transport, electrical networks, economics and policy development
	Thomas Young Centre The London Centre for Theory and Simulation of Materials. Interdisciplinary alliance of London researchers which operate at the forefront of science to address the challenges of society and industry through the theory and simulation of materials, or materials modelling.

	Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) NERC is the leading funder of independent research, training and innovation in environmental science in the UK.
	National Nuclear User Facility (NNUF) NNUF is a multi-site facility that gives academia and industry access to internationally leading experimental equipment for nuclear research on radioactive materials at levels greater than can be handled in university laboratories. NNUF equipment is centred at the three complementary hubs of the National Nuclear Laboratory, Culham Centre for Fusion Energy and the Dalton Cumbrian Facility (University of Manchester).
	Dalton Nuclear Institute - University of Manchester The Dalton Nuclear Institute is an academic provider of nuclear research and development. They support research across plant life, new nuclear build, decommissioning, and waste with funding from research councils, industry and UK government.
	South West Nuclear Hub - University of Bristol The South West Nuclear Hub is based at the University of Bristol and aims to boost nuclear research and skills in the South West of the UK. They work with academia, industry and government to help provide a way to engage with stakeholders from the local to international level.
	York Plasma Institute - University of York The York Plasma Institute brings together plasma scientists from a range of areas with applications across fusion, industry and medicine
	Nuclear Futures Institute - Bangor University The Nuclear Futures Insitute at Bangor is working to establish North Wales as a centre of nuclear technology worldwide. They work closely with UK industry and are a key partner in the NEF CDT.
	Nuclear Engineering Group - University of Leeds The Nuclear Engineering Group works with UKRI, EU, BEIS and industry to research areas across the nuclear fuel cycle. Currently they are involved with the GREEN EPSRC CDT, led by the University of Manchester.
	UKAEA UKAEA aims to position the UK as a leader in sustainable nuclear energy through their funding of fusion and related technologies. They manage the UK fusion programme at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) where they have hosted the JET (Joint European Torus) facility since 1973. The MAST facility is also based at Culham and expected to start operation in late 2020.
	Henry Royce Institute The Henry Royce Institute works to identify challenges and boost innovation in advanced materials research. It operates from the University of Manchester and in partnership with nine leading UK institutions including Imperial College London.

	Los Alamos - National Laboratory Los Alamos National Laboratory is one of two laboratories in the United States where classified work towards the design of nuclear weapons is undertaken
	Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India. BARC provides a broad spectrum of scientific and technological activities extending from basic laboratory bench scale research to scaled up plant level operations and its functional domain covers all walks of science and technology – stretching from classical school of thoughts to the emerging novel fields of interest.
	University of Tokyo
	Korea Atomic Enery Research Institute (KAERI) The Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS), responsible for supporting the government in regulatory and licensing works, and the Nuclear Environment Technology Institute, responsible for low and medium level radioactive waste management, are also originally spin-offs from KAERI. KAERI established the present KEPCO E&C, responsible for not only the architect engineering works of nuclear power plants, but also for designing nuclear steam supply systems. KAERI also established the present Korea Nuclear Fuel Co., Ltd.(KNFC), responsible for designing and manufacturing PWR as well as PHWR fuels.
