Rob Corby (Magnox) and Iain Anderson (Radwise) with their National Training Awards.

On the 5th of October 2011, the Radwise/Magnox collaborative training initiative scooped the prestigious Macro Employer of the Year Award at the National Training Awards ceremony held at the Excel, London. The award provides national recognition of the innovative training initiative between Radwise and Magnox with regard to Radiation Protection Technician training.

The training programme that was implemented at Magnox’s Bradwell site has provided a welcome boost to the local employment market with over 40 people being employed by Radwise at the site as a result of the initiative. This has helped the site meet its resource requirements for its decommissioning programme and provided a cost effective solution to a national shortage of Radiation Protection Technicians.

The training programme that has been developed over the past 4 years is now in the process of becoming the industry standard for Radiation Protection Technician training in the UK.
