The UK has embarked on one of the most ambitious programmes for a new generation of nuclear power stations in Europe, with plans for up to 12 new reactors by 2025.
The planned new reactors are part of a wholesale restructuring taking place of Britain’s electricity market that is aimed at helping the country meet tough carbon reduction targets, as well as keep the lights on.
However, concerns remain, such as about the level of expertise in the supply chain given that the industry has not built a new reactor for more than 20 years.
