The c. 16.1-ha Gloucestershire Science and Technology Park in Berkeley has been acquired by Chiltern Vital Berkeley Ltd (CVB), with plans to establish the UK’s first low carbon “supercluster” for nuclear research, education, and artificial intelligence.
The former location of one of the earliest civil nuclear power stations worldwide, the Berkeley site, was instrumental in the advancement of the UK's nuclear fuel program. It is now scheduled to undergo a transformation into a hub of expertise for small modular and microreactor technology. This revitalization has the potential to be a focal point at future real estate networking gatherings in the South West, as it could significantly influence the region's economy.
Chris Turner, Chief Executive of Chiltern Vital Group, said, “I am excited to close this acquisition and begin the first phase of Berkeley’s transformational redevelopment. CVG is already working with some of the world’s leading clean energy companies.”
The project involves partnerships with institutions such as Rolls-Royce SMR, the University of Bristol, and the National College for Nuclear.
