Who can take part?

Capability Mapping

F4N lets companies measure their operations against the standards required to supply the nuclear industry – in new build, operations and decommissioning – and take the necessary steps to close any gaps.

By The Industry

F4N has been developed by the Nuclear AMRC with the support of its top tier partners, including nuclear new build developers and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. These industry leaders are using F4N to identify potential companies for their own supply chains.

For The Industry

We are currently working with stakeholders to further develop the F4N programme and provide additional support to UK manufacturers.

F4N is designed for businesses with 10 or more employees or with a turnover of £1.6 million and upwards.

Open To All

Participating companies range from contract manufacturers with no nuclear experience aiming to take a first step into the sector, to established suppliers wanting to benchmark their position and drive business excellence.

Impact

More than 860 companies have now completed the online F4N assessment, with most receiving ongoing support and development from the team. Around 120 are currently granted F4N after putting their action plan into practice – see the directory of F4N companies for details and case studies or F4N Connect for a fully searchable database of nuclear-ready suppliers.
