The Government would like to thank Simon Bowen, then our industry adviser on new nuclear and now the interim-Chair of Great British Nuclear (GBN), for the expert advice he has provided. His advice has been instrumental in the development of government policy, including the setting up of GBN and the running of the Small Modular Reactor Technology Selection Process, which we have done at pace. In his role as interim-Chair of GBN we will continue to draw on his expertise and advice. The Government is minded to publish Mr Bowen’s advice, subject to considerations of commercial sensitivity, alongside the nuclear roadmap later this year.
