Small Modular Reactors
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, by what date he expects Great British Nuclear to make a decision on awarding contracts for Small Modular Reactor deployment.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Great British Nuclear (GBN) is driving forward its small modular reactor (SMR) competition for UK deployment. Following a period of detailed negotiation, bidders have now submitted final tenders, which GBN is evaluating. Final decisions will be taken this Spring.
GBN is working to a timeline that enables a robust process underpinned by fairness and transparency, and which can deliver value for the British taxpayer.
