Strategic Partnerships

In striving for compact, efficient, and safe nuclear energy solutions Cambridge Atomworks has engaged in strategic collaborations with industry leaders such as TWI international for corrosion and structural integrity testing; Thermal Engineering international (TEi) for heat exchanger design and manufacturability and the Whittle Lab at the University for turbine technology.

One of the aims of the Cambridge Atomworks Leadership Team is to utilise its ties to the University of Cambridge, and to deliver advanced nuclear technologies that will power the energy transition

Strategic collaborations in 'the other Cambridge’ are in progress to test the high temperature performance of our reactor steels under irradiation in the MITR. Irradiation campaigns on salt coolants and metals and coolants in the presence of radiation using MIT gamma and proton irradiation facilities are underway. We recently completed (September 2025) the second phase of a salt irradiation campaign conducted with Jacy Conrad of Idaho National Laboratory at the Idaho State University accelerator facility in Pocatello, ID.
