Recommendation 13
13
Require developers of new nuclear projects in Wales to meet minimum local content levels.
Conclusion
The contribution of businesses based in Wales to current nuclear developments at Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C demonstrates that, at least in part, the skills and supply chains for such projects are available in Wales. There should be investment in scaling up the Welsh nuclear supply chain to ensure that new nuclear projects in Wales employ the maximum local labour so that the local areas feel the benefits. If there is a new nuclear development in Wales, the UK Government should place a requirement on developers for a minimum level of local content during the project. (Paragraph 68) Commitment from the UK Government
