Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to support applications for development sites from new nuclear developers of (a) small and (b) advanced modular reactors before the Great British Nuclear funding competition opens.

GBN will work across Government to support access to potential sites for new nuclear projects to achieve its long-term ambition. There is growing local and regional interest in a number of sites for further nuclear development. GBN would welcome any conversations with stakeholders who are considering whether their land might be suitable for the deployment of nuclear facilities in future.
