Nuclear Power provides about 15 % of the UK’s electricity, but in the next decade, many elderly reactors in the country will be rejected.
Money Nuclear Power Station – or small modular reactor (SMR) – are smaller and cheap than traditional nuclear power plants, and produce very little strength.
The plans announced on Thursday will be included in the planning rules for the first time. The construction of a nuclear reactor will only be eliminated a list of these places. The list consisted of only eight sites.
Sir Kerr said that the Russian President Vladimir Putin was “hostage” for “too long” to protect Britain’s energy, resulting in prices “suffering from the sky on his wishes”.
He explained, “I am eliminating it – changing the rules of backing the builders of this nation, and did not tell the blockkers who have long been our cheap energy, growth and The possibility of jobs has been strangled. “
In January 2024, the process of declining the rules regarding the construction of nuclear reactors under the conservative government of Rishi Sink on the construction of nuclear reactors was initiated.
The ministers said the UK is considered one of the most expensive countries in the world to build nuclear power, and set up a new nuclear regulatory task force to accelerate the approval of the new reactor designs and streamline. How will the developers engage with regulators.
“Labor” Labor took the lead in recognizing the benefits of a stable, reliable, base nuclear power, “said Andrew Booie, Secretary of Conservative Shadow Energy.
But Greenpiece UK policy director, Doug Pir, claimed that the government did not apply to “such a pinch for critical scrutiny or spraying evidence”.
“The Labor government has swallowed [the] The nuclear industry fully spin, “he said,” he actually presents things that are merely speculated on small nuclear reactors cost, delivery speed and safety. “
The head of the Nuclear Industry Association, Tom Greaterx, has termed the reforms towards development and clean strength as “the strongest signal yet”.
GMB general secretary Gary Smith said the union has repeatedly said that “without a new nuclear, there can be no zero”.
Referring to Cyfulk C, a site on the Safulak coast, which then Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised a new nuclear reactor in 2022, added: “[It] Green light is ready to strengthen the future of our country and is waiting. “
The government has not yet made a final decision on Size Vel C, which does not need to come to the expense review later this year. The final choice on the design of the SMR will also come simultaneously.
Currently, the development of nuclear power plants in the UK may slow down. In consultation for size well, it loses 10 years alone.
On Wednesday, the Joint Managing Director of Size Well C, Julia Paye, called the project a “next step” in traveling towards development and energy safety.
