Today, on Canada-UK Nuclear Day, we're strengthening our international ties through a new partnership with the UK's Nuclear Institute.

Under the partnership, CNS members can now join the NI — and NI members can join the CNS — at no extra cost. Both memberships come with access to each other's benefits, including member rates at conferences and events on either side of the Atlantic.

Canada and the UK are both in a period of real growth in nuclear, and the professional communities behind that work should be growing alongside it. This partnership gives our members a wider network to learn from, more opportunities to share expertise, and another route to advance their own development.
