Responding to today’s UK-US nuclear partnership, Dhara Vyas, chief executive at Energy UK, said:
“Today’s announcement builds on the UK’s proud legacy of leadership in civil nuclear and reaffirms the Government’s commitment to nuclear as a cornerstone of our energy security and clean energy future.
“Investment in new nuclear technologies is vital for driving economic growth and innovation – creating high-quality jobs, strengthening supply chains, and unlocking export potential – as outlined in our Powering Growth report.
“Clean power is a global effort, and partnerships with key international allies will play an important role in accelerating the energy transition and delivering long-term economic and environmental benefits.”
