Nuclear Regulatory Review
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, which Ministers are responsible for overseeing the implementation of the recommendations of the Nuclear Regulatory Review 2025; and if he will set out the timeline for their implementation.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The recommendations of the Taskforce will radically move the dial on the regulatory regime for civil and defence nuclear in this country, and ministers from a number of government departments will have a role in overseeing the implementation of the recommendations of the Taskforce.
As the Chancellor set out at Budget, we will present a full government response to the review within three months, taking account of our international obligations, national security considerations, and planning, environmental and court processes.
The government will complete implementation within two years, subject to legislative timelines on elements requiring primary legislation.
