Nucleair Nederland verenigt de zes belangrijkste nucleaire bedrijven en organisaties in Nederland: EPZ, COVRA, NRG, PALLAS, Reactor Instituut Delft en Urenco. 

Er werken ruim 1.500 mensen in de Nederlandse nucleaire industrie. Daarnaast voorziet de sector in duizenden arbeidsplaatsen tot ver over de landsgrenzen bij de toeleveranciers en de gebruikers van haar eindproducten. We leveren kennis, diensten en producten die de samenleving hard nodig heeft. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan medische kennis en medicijnen, elektriciteit, materiaalkennis en analyse- en detectiemethodes voor talloze werkvelden. Nucleair is daarmee een belangrijke sector voor Nederland met veel spin-off en innovatie. Nederland heeft een unieke positie doordat de nucleaire bedrijven bijna de gehele productieketen voor nucleaire medicijnen omvatten.
