Britain Launches Framework to Boost Advanced Nuclear Reactor ...
The framework aims to accelerate small modular reactor projects, attract private investment, and support clean power for AI data centres and industry with up to 300MW per unit.
- Last year, the UK government published its Advanced Nuclear Framework to encourage private investment and support credible projects.
- Aimed at decarbonisation and jobs, the plan targets economic growth by delivering some of the world's first advanced nuclear stations to power factories and AI data centres.
- Building on Palisades in Michigan, Holtec will progress plans with EDF UK to deploy its SMR-300 at Cottam, which can produce 300MW and power roughly 200,000 homes.
- Developers can submit proposals from March this year to join a projects list assessed by government experts and Great British Energy-Nuclear, while government planners support planning and attract private investors.
- Following recent major investments such as Sizewell C and Wylfa, the framework promotes factory-built advanced, small and micro modular reactors that could be produced faster and cheaper while supporting regional skilled jobs.
