The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group has launched a specialised cyber facility.

The new facility is designed to accelerate collaboration across nuclear operators and the supply chain on topics like the adoption of innovative technologies such as AI and robotics and enhancing their collective ability to successfully defend against cyber threats.

The Group Cyberspace Collaboration Centre (GCCC) will provide a space for experts in cyber, digital and engineering to come together and share knowledge and learning on how best to adopt new technologies and defend against evolving threats. 

The official opening was attended by representatives from government the nuclear sector, regulators and the supply chain. The visitors heard about the NDA’s continued investment in cyber defences and the safe and secure use of technology in delivering its decommissioning mission.

David Peattie, NDA Group CEO, said: "The GCCC is further enhancing our collective ability to keep us safe, secure, resilient and sustainable in cyberspace.

"Enabling us to work together more closely means we can defend as one, benefitting the collective security of the individual organisations we serve.

"When it comes to security, we are never complacent, and we continually invest in our expertise and our technology to further strengthen our capability."
