To this end, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed outlining the company’s intent to supply Sizewell C. The agreement will see Sheffield Forgemasters provide specialised qualification components for the project with potential longer-term opportunities for collaboration on future European Pressurised Reactor (EPR) projects in the UK.

Through this new partnership, Sheffield Forgemasters will join the Sizewell C Consortium, an organisation of over 200 businesses across the nuclear and construction supply chain that is preparing to mobilise onto Sizewell C as the construction of Hinkley Point C draws to a close.
