Magnox Ltd

Arun Khuttan is an Engineer at Magnox Ltd, a member of the Next Generation Nuclear Industry Council and also the COP26 lead for the UK Nuclear Institute Young Generation Network. Arun grew up in Slough and went to Herschel Grammar School and now lives in Bristol with friends. He enjoyed sciences at school as well as music where he played an Indian instrument called the dhol. He then studied A-Levels in Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology to potentially go down the medical route, encouraged by his dad. Medical places being limited, Arun took a gap year where he worked as a Healthcare Assistant before deciding to go to University College London (UCL) to study Chemical Engineering. During his time at university Arun continued to work part-time as a healthcare assistant and then a sales assistant and laterally a M&amp;S Operations Assistant. As part of his degree, Arun went to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, a private research university in Troy, New York on an exchange programme with UCL. While out there he volunteered on a design project building a solar powered hot water system for a village in Mexico before returning to UCL to complete a master’s degree in nuclear engineering. During his master’s Arun worked on a research project for a Waste Effluent Plant in Australia for four months and spent two weeks at the University of California, Berkeley on a nuclear innovation bootcamp. In 2016, Arun joined the NDA Nuclear Graduate Programme giving him an overview of the whole nuclear lifecycle before continuing his work with Magnox where he chairs their young person’s network to give young people a voice.

“Just try and be slightly better than yesterday or the week before as it’s those small improvements that compound over time!” Arun Khuttan, Engineer, Magnox Ltd

The conference of the parties (COP) is where almost every nation on earth, each with an equal vote, gathers to talk climate change and attempt to hammer out a consensus on the way forward. So far nuclear has been on the fringes of policy discussions. Activists like Arun Khuttan are working to change that through an initiative called Net Zero Needs Nuclear. Delayed due to COVID, COP 26 promises to be interesting with countries that were previously reluctant to make climate committments changing course. The Biden administration has rejoined the Paris Agreement and China has signalled goals of Net Zero by 2060 which includes a massive scaling up of their nuclear sector. Arun and I talk shop on COP, Nuclear advocacy strategy and the Net Zero for Nuclear campaign. Arun Khuttan is a chemical and nuclear engineer who is an active advocate for nuclear and is leading the UK Young Generation in nuclear's activities towards COP 26 this year.For more information about the campaignhttps://www.netzeroneedsnuclear.com/get-involved
