Scientists comment on news of a UK-US deal on nuclear energy.
Professor Fiona Rayment, President of the Nuclear Institute, said:
“We welcome today’s news of the US-UK deal to enable major expansion of new nuclear projects in the UK, building on investment in Sizewell C, SMRs, fusion and defence nuclear earlier this year.
“This announcement again confirms nuclear’s vital role in ensuring energy and national security, as well as delivering high-skilled, well-paid jobs across the country. New nuclear projects, both large and small, are crucial to meeting our energy needs.”
