New companies have continued to join the NIA and membership is now 94. New members have been attracted towards membership because of the excellent networking opportunities that NIA provides as well as recognising the need to keep up the pressure on government to recognise the importance of the nuclear sector to the UK, where NIA has recently had some success (see front page).
