With a commitment to providing only the very best lifting and handling solutions available in the industry, Penny Nuclear entered the Fit For Nuclear programme back in 2015 to gain additional support to diversify and pursue new opportunities in an array of Nuclear sectors. Having been granted our official F4N status in 2018, Penny Nuclear is still proud to be an official Fit For Nuclear accredited supplier.
Developed by the Nuclear AMRC (Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre) in collaboration with the Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) and supported by top-tier partners, including new build developers and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), Fit For Nuclear is a UK-based programme designed to help companies in the nuclear supply chain prepare for and demonstrate their readiness to work in the nuclear industry.
The primary goal of the F4N program is to support companies that are interested in entering or expanding their presence in the nuclear sector. It provides a structured framework to assess a company’s capabilities and helps them identify and address any gaps or areas that need improvement in order to meet the rigorous standards and requirements of the nuclear industry.
The programme consists of a comprehensive assessment process that evaluates a business’s operational processes, quality management systems, essential health and safety practices, and other relevant key areas; helping companies understand the specific requirements, standards, and regulations necessary to be nuclear-ready.
Typically targeting companies hoping to operate within the nuclear supply chain, including manufacturers, engineering firms, service providers, and contractors, the F4N programme is designed to support businesses of all calibres, from small and medium-sized enterprises to larger organisations, regardless of whether a company has nuclear experience or not; offering a structured framework to assess a business’s readiness and improve their nuclear capabilities.
