6. Defence Nuclear
• The Defence Nuclear Programme forms a critical 25% of the total current UK demand
for nuclear and nuclear related skills, there are a number of significant differences with
respect to the civil sector
• Defence nuclear capability has a large programme of planned construction and ongoing
operations.
• The power source for nuclear submarines is a unique application of a complex and safety
critical technology. Space is severely constrained, safety systems need to respond to
the operational status of the vessel and refuelling needs to be minimised
• 15,000 personnel in defence nuclear workforce
• More people are employed in the energy production in the defence sector than the civil.
