About Us

The Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) is the trade body representing the UK’s civil nuclear sector. We support more than 300 member companies across the supply chain to help deliver more nuclear power nationwide — driving a safer, cleaner energy future for industry, communities, and the environment.
