More nuclear power plants will be approved across England and Wales as the Prime Minister slashes red tape to get Britain building - as part of his Plan for Change.
Reforms to planning rules will clear a path for smaller, and easier to build nuclear reactors – known as Small Modular Reactors –to be built for the first time ever in the UK. This will create thousands of new highly skilled jobs while delivering clean, secure and more affordable energy for working people.
A new report published outlines the significant contribution that nuclear energy has made to economic growth in the UK over the last five decades.
The report, by independent consultants, Economic Insight, looks at the economic impact of the current fleet of eight nuclear power stations during their operational lives and shows they have so far contributed more than £123 billion* to the UK economy since the two oldest stations started operating in 1976.
The UK’s world-leading programme to design and build a prototype fusion energy plant takes one-step closer to securing major industry partners.
