About C2N Australia (Operations Suspended)

Please note: Following the recent Australian Federal Election results in May 2025, C2N Australia will be suspending its operations for the foreseeable future. The information below reflects the organisation’s background and original mission.

Bruce Wymond, Former Director C2N Australia

Bruce Wymond gained a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours from the University of Melbourne in 1985 and started his career as a structural engineer working on Yallourn and Loy Yang coal power stations. He went on to consulting engineering roles on high-rise buildings and airports across Asia, where he managed teams of engineers in the newly developed discipline of façade engineering.

The consultancy service expanded rapidly across South-East Asia, China, India and the Middle East. It required a dynamic and agile approach to a rapidly changing market, and in 2009 he was a founding partner and managing director of Inhabit. The group grew over the preceding decade to 350 engineers in 21 offices across 15 countries.

In addition to his engineering management roles, Bruce attended UNSW from 2019 to 2022 to study nuclear engineering as well as reactor physics at Arizona State University. He also completed a thesis on Prestressed Concrete Containment Structures, that are essential to nuclear reactor safety and provided information on a newly discovered prestressed concrete failure mechanism to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, USNRC.

Bruce’s management role included maintaining ethical standards, cognisant that corruption was widespread, across Asia. In 2023 he wrote a textbook “Corruption in the Construction Industry,” and he is involved in anti-corruption education as a director of the Global Infrastructure Anti-Corruption Centre GIACC in Australia.

In addition to this work, Bruce established C2N Australia in December 2024. The organisation’s primary goal was to contribute to the national conversation on energy by educating the Australian public. C2N aimed to raise awareness about the potential role of both renewable sources and nuclear energy in developing a secure, reliable, and low-emissions energy future for Australia, presenting nuclear power as a viable, long-term option.

Bruce remains a member of Engineers Australia, the Australian Nuclear Association and the American Nuclear Society.
