UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to overhaul planning rules and make it easier to build new nuclear reactors across England and Wales. He aims to attract investment in smaller, prefabricated reactors (SMRs) to boost energy security and reduce reliance on volatile global markets.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has vowed to slash the red tape in his pursuit of building new nuclear reactors across England and Wales.
Britain’s energy security has been held hostage by Russian President Vladimir Putin for too long, with the nation’s prices skyrocketing at his whims, Starmer said. The government wants to clear a path for smaller and easier to build nuclear power plants that are known as small modular reactors . The U.K. currently has only one nuclear power plant–Hinkley Point C–under construction, and eight other sites are approved for nuclear development.
