The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will publish summary-level modelling of the (a) environmental and (b) public health impact of terrorist attacks at Sizewell C.

Answered by Michael Shanks

We do not publish modelling on the likely impacts of terrorist attacks on the UK’s civil nuclear sites beyond the information included in the public National Risk Register on the grounds of national security. DESNZ officials contribute detailed modelling on potential impacts as part of their contribution to the National Security Risk Assessment, which underpins the National Risk Register.
