The project involves building a modular nuclear power station consisting of three small modular reactors (SMRs) on Anglesey Island in northern Wales. The plant will have a combined power output of less than half that of current large nuclear power stations. The design is promoted as cheaper and quicker to construct, with modules assembled from factory components and then set up on site. The govern

Description
Description | The project involves building a modular nuclear power station consisting of three small modular reactors (SMRs) on Anglesey Island in northern Wales. The plant will have a combined power output of less than half that of current large nuclear power stations. The design is promoted as cheaper and quicker to construct, with modules assembled from factory components and then set up on site. The government has pledged 2.5 billion pounds for initial site work and preparation, aiming to create a British nuclear champion and increase government involvement in the energy sector. |
