Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with Great British Nuclear to speed up the decision-making process to pick a supplier of small nuclear reactors.

Great British Nuclear, the Department’s arm’s-length body responsible for helping deliver the government’s nuclear programme, is currently running a small modular reactor technology selection process for UK deployment. This is a live procurement and is on-going. The window for submitting tenders has now closed and Great British Nuclear is currently evaluating bids. We look forward to providing further information in due course.
