This AHRC-funded network, led by PI Dr Egle Rindzeviciute, for which I was a member of the academic steering and advisory board, with Robert Bud, Science Museum; Rodney Harrison, University College London; Penelope Harvey, University of Manchester; Jeffrey Hughes, University of Manchester; Susan Molyneux-Hodgson, Exeter University and Andrew Stirling, Sussex University. The network focused on the emerging field of nuclear cultural heritage and aimed to build international networks of industry, academics and museum and heritage practitioners to investigate the challenges of defining, preserving and regulating nuclear cultural heritage, and to produce guidelines for museums.

This project was funded by an AHRC Network Grant, AH/S001301/1 and produced two papers: Nuclear Cultural Heritage Position Paper 2019 and Final Report: Nuclear Cultural Heritage 2022.
