add section - Role in the 2004-5 nuclear charm offensive
The '''Nuclear Industry Association''' (NIA) is the trade association and information and representative body for the British civil nuclear industry. Until 2003 it was known as the [[British Nuclear Industry Forum]].
==Role in the 2004-5 nuclear charm offensive==
According to [[Jonathan Leake]] and [[Dan Box]] writing in the ''New Statesman'', the NIA played a key role in the pro-nuclear energy PR offensive that began in 2004.
:Keith Parker, chief executive of the NIA, confirms that the industry carefully co-ordinated and exploited the build-up to the election. "We discussed these things a lot," he said, "and we did see the election as an opportunity. There were several other things coming at the same time, such as the government's review of renewables [due out in June]. It gave us a good chance to raise the profile of nuclear power."
