Windermere Nuclear Institute

The Windermere Nuclear Institute (WNI) is an ambitious architectural project located in the scenic region of Cumbria’s Lake District. This innovative facility combines the features of a small nuclear reactor with a state-of-the-art educational center and a technological development hub, all aimed at advancing nuclear energy knowledge and expertise, edging closer to the UK’s Net Zero 2050 goal.

At the heart of the WNI lies a small nuclear reactor, designed to provide a safe and controlled environment for learning and research purposes. This reactor serves as a practical training tool, allowing students, researchers, and professionals to gain hands-on experience in nuclear energy operations and safety protocols. The educational services offered by WNI encompass a wide range of programs, including courses, workshops, and seminars, catering to individuals from various backgrounds, from students seeking a career in nuclear energy to industry professionals looking to expand their expertise.


The WNI serves as a technological development center, fostering research and innovation in nuclear energy. Scientists, engineers, and industry experts collaborate within the facility to explore novel technologies, improve reactor designs, and develop sustainable nuclear energy solutions. The center acts as a platform for cutting-edge research projects, facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration among professionals in the field.
By combining education, research, and technological development, the Windermere Nuclear Institute aims to drive advancements in nuclear energy, promote safety and sustainability, and create a skilled workforce to support the growing demand for clean and efficient energy sources in the future.
