In reaction to the launch of the US-UK Strategic Energy Dialogue at COP26, aimed at deepening the UK’s collaboration with the US on nuclear energy, Tom Greatrex, Chief Executive of the Nuclear Industry Association said,

“It’s very welcome to see the US and UK include nuclear at the heart of their energy partnership, underlining the key role nuclear plays in delivering clean, secure energy.

“Nuclear is a critical part of our clean energy transition and US-UK cooperation has great potential to drive investment and innovation in major projects and in new technologies such as modular reactors. Both countries know we need nuclear for net zero.”
