Recommendation 6

6 Paragraph: 35

Pursue new gigawatt-scale nuclear plants alongside existing Small Modular Reactor policy.

Recommendation
While successfully developing a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) would present a huge opportunity for the UK, the technology is still in development phase. If the UK Government is serious about nuclear energy now it needs to pursue new gigawatt- scale plants alongside its policy on SMRs.
