Nuclear Decommissioning Authority: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps are being taken to provide funding to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Funding for the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is being provided through the Government’s Spending Review (SR) settlement, confirmed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in June 2025, which allocated £13.9 billion of capital funding for the period 2025 to 2030.
The SR settlement is the largest ever capital investment in nuclear decommissioning and demonstrates the government’s commitment to keeping the UK’s former nuclear sites and facilities safe.
This funding enables NDA to continue to perform its core mission of keeping former nuclear sites safe and secure while progressing decommissioning and nuclear waste management.
