With permission, Madam Deputy Speaker, I wish to make a statement on civil nuclear power in the UK. Today, we have published three key documents that reinforce the UK’s position as a leader in the civil nuclear renaissance: a civil nuclear road map, a consultation on alternative routes to market, and a consultation on a proposed policy for siting new nuclear power stations. That sets us on a path towards deploying up to 24 GW of nuclear power in Britain by 2050 as part of a cleaner, cheaper and more secure energy system for the future. It is the biggest investment in more than 70 years. The civil nuclear road map establishes our vision for a vibrant British nuclear sector, providing detail on policies that we are pursuing to enable delivery, covering areas such as siting, regulation, financing, skills development, and waste management. We commit to reform regulations, financing, and decommissioning of civil nuclear power, potentially cutting approval times by up to 50% for reactors already approved overseas. A commitment to invest £300 million in producing clean, green high-assay low-enriched uranium fuel is also announced. The road map sets out long-term ambitions and timelines for various technologies including SMRs, AMRs, and gigawatt-scale projects, offering opportunities for decarbonisation across the energy sector. We have set up Great British Nuclear as an arm’s length body to help deliver new nuclear projects, alongside launching a consultation on alternative routes to market for private sector involvement. A public consultation is also launched on siting new nuclear power stations in England and Wales, with proposals for designating a nuclear national policy statement by 2025, providing a planning policy framework for SMRs, AMRs, and traditional gigawatt-scale projects. Additional sites will be required for new nuclear projects, with greater flexibility in site selection to enable innovative solutions.
