About this event
Powering Progress: The UK's Nuclear Future
Nuclear
has a long history in the UK. Currently we have nine operational reactors
across four locations totalling 6 GWe, and in 2023 nuclear accounted for around
15% of the UK’s electricity generation. The government is looking to increase
this up to 25% by 2050, with a target to install 24 GWe. However, the industry
will need to move faster if we are going to meet this figure.
With
more pressure to meet its net zero target by 2050, is nuclear power the way to
go?
Unlike
conventional giga-scale plants, small modular reactors (SMRs) offer greater
site flexibility for construction and deployment, scalability of manufacturing,
and potential reductions in CAPEX.
Join
us … as we discuss the UK’s nuclear future in more detail, hear from industry
leaders on what opportunities are available for the UK supply chain to support
the nuclear sector now and into the future.
