Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether the Korea Electric Power Corporation currently holds a licence to manufacture nuclear reactors in the UK.

Any nuclear vendor wishing to deploy their reactor technology in the UK is required to comply with the UK’s regulatory and licensing requirements, and must successfully complete a Generic Design Assessment. Toshiba recently awarded Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) preferred bidder status for acquiring Nugen and further commercial decisions would be required before any regulatory processes could begin.
