Nuclear Risk Insurers (NRI) is a leading specialist nuclear insurance managing general agent, acting on behalf of the British Nuclear Insurance Pool, bringing together more than 70 years of experience in understanding, managing and insuring nuclear risk.
Combining specialist underwriting expertise with deep nuclear engineering capability, NRI is able to develop a practical understanding of complex nuclear risks and translate that insight into effective insurance solutions. Through its underwriting expertise and the international nuclear insurance pooling system, NRI supports the nuclear sector with specialist insurance capacity and informed perspectives on evolving risk exposures.
As the nuclear landscape evolves, NRI is looking ahead to new nuclear developments and advanced technologies, from small modular reactors and fusion to maritime applications and other emerging risks, while maintaining its longstanding support for the existing nuclear sector.
By engaging with technologies and projects at an early stage, NRI helps the industry identify, understand and mitigate risk, contributing to the confidence needed to support investment, innovation and the future development of nuclear energy.
On the 17th of October 1956, Queen Elizabeth II opened Calder Hall in Cumbria, the world’s first full-scale commercial nuclear power station: a defining moment for civil nuclear energy.
That same year, the British Insurance (Atomic Energy) Committee, NRI’s predecessor, was formed as the insurance markets solution in collaboration with the UK Government to provide nuclear insurance to Calder Hall and began providing insurance cover for nuclear risks, laying the foundations for seven decades of specialist support to the nuclear industry.
As the sector has evolved, specialist insurance has helped manage its unique risks. Today, NRI draws on 70 years of experience and expertise to support the safe and responsible operation and development of nuclear facilities.
