April - Wolverhampton

Ansaldo Nucleare S.p.A. and its subsidiary Ansaldo Nuclear Ltd (UK) operate as a "One Stop Company" specialising in nuclear power, under the name Ansaldo Nuclear.

Ansaldo Nuclear supplies design, engineering, manufacturing, assembly, testing, commissioning, on-site installation and integrated logistics services internationally, aided by custom solutions for the four business lines in which it operates: Nuclear New Builds, Fusion, Plant Operation Assistance, and Decommissioning and Waste Management. Ansaldo has consolidated its role as an EPC contractor managing integrated design, procurement of nuclear components and installation in a number of recent projects on domestic markets (Italy and the UK) and abroad (Argentina, Slovenia, Romania, France, etc.).

In 2017 Ansaldo acquired the subsidiary Ansaldo Nuclear Ltd, obtaining outstanding manufacturing capacity with a long history in the field of defence and decommissioning in the UK. Ansaldo Nuclear Engineering's resources are split over three locations: Ansaldo Nuclear Ltd's headquarters in Wolverhampton, and the Risley and Beckermet sites, also in the United Kingdom.

Ansaldo Nuclear Ltd's history dates back to 1810, when John Thompson began manufacturing boilers for the booming industrial revolution. The company's involvement in the nuclear industry began with the construction of the first nuclear reactor in the United Kingdom, the Dounreay Plant. Since then, Ansaldo Nuclear Ltd has supplied an extensive range of equipment and solutions to the majority of UK nuclear power plants, including the fuel chain, remote handling, inspection equipment, encapsulation, waste handling solutions, gloveboxes, shielded containment and reprocessing equipment. The engineering department's capabilities include optioneering, engineering from concept through to detailed design, design validation, safety case support, peer reviews and feasibility studies, and site surveys and reports.

With 1000 square metres of workshops and a 30-metre-high experimentation tower, the Wolverhampton site now contributes to the construction, assembly and testing of protype machines for the market and supports Britain's programme for development of Advanced Modular Reactors, hosting research infrastructure for qualification of new nuclear technologies.
