The Advanced Nuclear Research Centre (ANRC) undertakes research and translation for industry-led projects and acts as a hub for all nuclear activities at the University of Strathclyde. The Candu Owners Group (COG) is a Toronto-based nuclear energy not-for-profit corporation whose members are nuclear operators who invest in achieving operational excellence through collaboration. The University Network of Excellence in Nuclear Engineering (UNENE) is a network of Canadian universities, industry, government and international institutions dedicated to excellence in nuclear science, technology and engineering.

Under the MoU, with a five-year renewable term, the three organisations will cooperate on nuclear engineering, science and technology initiatives in the areas of research and development, education and training, knowledge management, and nuclear operations support.

“International collaboration is key to building the capability and capacity to deliver the ambitious growth in nuclear energy that is essential to our energy security and net-zero imperatives,” said ANRC Executive Director Daryl Landeg. “Canada and the UK are also uniquely well placed to play a leading role globally in the safe and secure exploitation of nuclear energy. This agreement will enable us to build lasting productive partnerships aligned with our shared goals to advance nuclear energy.”

COG President and CEO Rachna Clavero added: “We are always seeking new opportunities to create value for our members, and this agreement supports advancement of industry-led projects while expanding our international network of expertise.”

“UNENE sees great opportunity for each partner in this agreement as we have very strong common interests and objectives, and a history of successful collaboration,” said UNENE President Jerry Hopwood. “Working together will bring tremendous scope for synergy and innovation, bringing UNENE universities together with industrial and academic partners.”
