The Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (NAMRC) led by the University of Sheffield with Rolls-Royce and supported by the University of Manchester will be based at the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Sheffield.

It will be a centre of excellence for research and development of advanced manufacturing technologies for the UK nuclear industry. It is expected to draw together high-tech manufacturing suppliers, to re-develop and re-energise an internationally recognised UK supply chain.

Support for training, simulation and modelling will be provided by the National Metals Technology Centre (NAMTEC).

The NAMRC was launched in December 2009 by the Business Secretary Lord Mandelson.
