Nuclear and Water

Sponsored by Evides Industriewater, this webinar examines the essential role of water infrastructure in enabling the next phase of nuclear power deployment in the UK. From large-scale reactors to small modular reactors (SMRs), secure and well-managed water supplies are fundamental to cooling, safety, and long-term operational resilience.

As the UK advances new nuclear projects as part of its Clean Power 2030 ambitions, the ability to plan water and energy infrastructure in parallel will be critical. Integrated, forward-looking approaches to water sourcing, cooling, and wastewater management can help accelerate project delivery while ensuring nuclear expansion remains safe, sustainable, and resource-efficient.

This session will address:

• How do nuclear projects depend on water availability, quality, and long-term infrastructure planning?

• What innovations in cooling technologies and wastewater management can improve sustainability and resilience?

• How can integrated water–energy planning support the safe and efficient rollout of both large-scale and modular nuclear projects?
