Speaker: Brian Nixon
Throughout its history Springfields has witnessed many changes and been managed and operated by a number of different organisations and is currently owned by Westinghouse Electric Company. Westinghouse is the world’s leading supplier of safe and innovative nuclear technology.
Springfields was the first plant in the world to produce fuel for a commercial nuclear power station, and has much in common with its owner Westinghouse, which powered the first large-scale commercial nuclear power plant in 1957 in Shippingport, Pennsylvania, in the U.S. and has a 130-year history. Since 1946, Springfields has produced over 12 million fuel elements and pins and can manufacture fuel for most types of nuclear reactors. Today the site has the most modern nuclear fuel manufacturing plant in the world and the fuel produced at Springfields provides around 32% of the UK’s low carbon electricity.
Springfields is proud to be the UK’s only manufacturer of nuclear fuel and the skills and experience gained over the last 75 years has positioned us at the forefront of the UK’s ambition to deliver Net Zero by 2050.
Brian Nixon
Brian was appointed Managing Director of Springfields Fuels Limited in 2017 and has over 25 years’ experience in the nuclear industry.
