In welcoming the King's Speech, which includes a commitment to "take forward the recommendations of the Nuclear Regulatory Review and encourage a new era of British nuclear energy generation," Tom Greatrex, Chief Executive of the Nuclear Industry Association, said:
“The government is right to push ahead with a more proportionate regulatory framework to make nuclear projects faster and less expensive to build.
“Recent global events are a reminder that long-term investment in domestic clean power is a national priority. Countries around the world are moving quickly to strengthen their energy independence through new nuclear, and the UK must do the same if it wants secure, reliable electricity, lower exposure to volatile gas markets and thousands of high-skilled industrial jobs.”
