Recommendation 23
23
Paragraph: 106
Maximise export potential and support critical domestic nuclear fuel cycle assets.
Recommendation
Aside from the need to import uranium, the UK has the capability to undertake critical parts of the nuclear fuel cycle, such as uranium conversion, enrichment and fuel fabrication. The export potential of these strategic assets should be maximised, especially now that countries are looking to reduce their dependence on Russia for these services. The Government should ensure that critical domestic assets in the nuclear supply chain are supported, while the UK’s current ageing fleet retires.
