Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to support further exports of UK small modular reactor technology to international markets.

As the UK’s export credit agency, UK Export Finance offers a range of products to exporters across the nuclear sector, including the fuel cycle, the supply chain, and new technologies such as small modular reactors and advanced modular reactors. The Secretary of State and I have spoken directly to our counterparts in several countries in support of UK small modular reactor technology and UKEF stands ready to support UK nuclear technology companies seeking overseas contracts.
