Sizewell A Nuclear Site: Direction to Nuclear Decommissioning Authority

(Limited Text - Ministerial Extracts only)

Friday 26th July 2024 Written Statements

[The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Ed Miliband)]

I am today laying a new designation direction to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority in respect of the Sizewell A nuclear site, which amends the existing direction. The direction has been given in accordance with sections 3 and 5 of the Energy Act 2004, with the consent of Nuclear Restoration Services Ltd, which controls the site.

This direction will end the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s responsibilities under the Energy Act 2004 for specific land and buildings on the Sizewell A nuclear site, so that the land can be sold to EDF and become part of the Sizewell B nuclear site. This will facilitate the development of new nuclear at the Sizewell C nuclear site.
