Our Focus on Nuclear

At Turnbull & Scott, we recognise the pivotal role of nuclear energy in the UK’s ambitious journey towards achieving net-zero emissions.

Nuclear power stands as a cornerstone of the nation’s energy strategy, providing a steady, reliable source of low-carbon electricity essential for reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

Our extensive experience in the nuclear sector, underpinned by decades of engineering excellence, positions us uniquely to contribute to these critical projects. From designing robust heat exchangers for nuclear reactors to providing advanced thermal solutions, we are committed to enhancing the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the UK’s nuclear infrastructure.

Our contributions not only support the nation’s energy security but also its environmental goals, making us a trusted partner in powering the UK’s sustainable future.

Our contributions – As an active member of the National Nuclear Vendors Forum (NNVF), we frequently speak at NNVF meetings, presenting our insights and contributing to the development of design guidelines that set industry standards. By advocating for best practices, we ensure that our expertise in heat exchanger design not only meets but elevates the benchmarks of nuclear industry specifications. Moreover, we share valuable Learning from Experience (LFE) insights, which enrich the collective knowledge and foster continuous improvement across the sector.

Our commitment extends to our strategic partnerships with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and the Nuclear Industry Association (NIA), where we serve as a trusted supply chain partner, providing robust heat exchangers that support the UK’s nuclear agenda. This collaboration underscores our dedication to advancing nuclear technology and enhancing safety and efficiency within the industry.

Nuclear Ventilation

Hinkley Point C, currently under development, is an example of Nuclear New Build in the UK that Turnbull & Scott are involved in.

We are providing high-quality heat exchangers for nuclear ventilation systems that are corrosion-resistant and suitable for various conditions including high-humidity weather for coastal sited nuclear plants.

Ventilation is a crucial part of the whole Hinkley Point project. Turnbull & Scott, with our 90 years of history in heat exchanger design and HVAC, is providing more reliable and long-service life products as well as solutions for this national project.

Molten Salts Reactor

Our partner, renowned for their advances in the nuclear sector, selected Turnbull & Scott in 2021/22 for a pivotal design collaboration focused on creating heat exchangers for the intense environment within a molten salts reactor.

We engineered solutions that are not only robust and efficient but specifically tailored to withstand the challenging conditions of this innovative reactor technology. Our design exceeded the rigorous demands of the project, earning high praise from our partner for our contribution.

This partnership underscores our expertise and our longstanding commitment to delivering high-quality, bespoke solutions in the nuclear industry, reinforcing our position as leaders in technically demanding engineering projects.
