Reacting to the European Parliament’s vote to include nuclear in the EU’s sustainable investment taxonomy, Chief Executive of the Nuclear Industry Association Tom Greatrex said:

“Nuclear’s inclusion in the EU taxonomy is a huge victory for science. Nuclear is green, with the lowest lifecycle carbon, lowest land use, and lowest metal use of all electricity generation technologies. The UK should now give nuclear the green label it deserves in our own taxonomy, to make it cheaper and easier to finance nuclear projects and to establish the UK as a green finance leader.”
