Opening addresses by:
Dr Tim Gregory, Nuclear Scientist, Author and Broadcaster
Dr Tim Gregory is a nuclear chemist, public speaker, broadcaster, and associate fellow of Bright Blue. His new book — Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the Planet — was listed as a ‘best book of 2025’ by The Times, The i Paper, and Nature.
“Nuclear power is the only low-carbon technology that can deliver reliable, high-density electricity in the quantities a modern economy demands. Now is the time to deploy it — decisively, and without delay. A British, nuclear energy, national awareness week is a wonderful initiative. I’m proud to be an ambassador for Back Nuclear Energy.” Dr Tim Gregory.
Dr David Cole FREng, Chief Operating Officer – Consulting, Wood
“The critical importance of the UK’s nuclear ambitions is clear. The challenge now is delivering them successfully and at scale. Success will depend on bringing together government, developers, supply chains and investors around projects that are investable, licensable, deliverable and built to perform for generations. Back Nuclear Energy provides an important platform to share practical solutions, build collaboration and help turn ambition into action.” Dr David Cole.
