21 Paragraph: 120

UK possesses a strong and valuable capability in nuclear research and development.

Conclusion
From the commissioning of Calder Hall in the 1950s, the UK has always had a strong capability in nuclear research and development. At a time where there is a global commitment to reduce carbon emissions and to reduce dependence on fossil fuels for reasons of energy security, the UK’s capability in new nuclear technologies is a strength.
