star this property answer text <p>The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) maintains an interest in the global potential of thorium nuclear fuels.</p><p> </p><p>In 2012, the National Nuclear laboratory (NNL) published an initial comparative assessment of thorium and uranium technologies in nuclear powered electricity generation. This is available online from:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fthorium-and-uranium-fuel-cycles-comparison-by-the-national-nuclear-laboratory&amp;data=02%7C01%7Csmrteam%40beis.gov.uk%7Cdd05f6eb801e49a4019908d6934e8acc%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C636858362871826514&amp;sdata=QPoeIoU4Hy5Q0QejJLtBthzHsXfznTY1ZctSMTSm5jM%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/thorium-and-uranium-fuel-cycles-comparison-by-the-national-nuclear-laboratory</a>.</p><p> </p><p>BEIS has considered these views and drawn on the expertise of its national laboratories to model nuclear scenarios that include the use of thorium. These are used to inform R&amp;D needs on thorium nuclear fuel cycles. An overview of these are included in the document “Nuclear Energy Research and Development Roadmap: Future Pathways”, which is available from:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fnuclear-energy-research-and-development-roadmap-future-pathways&amp;data=02%7C01%7Csmrteam%40beis.gov.uk%7Cdd05f6eb801e49a4019908d6934e8acc%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C636858362871836519&amp;sdata=GRPFBxd0yYpQvfucFPtnBU6IAzWcxW8H3QTEo1LJM2E%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nuclear-energy-research-and-development-roadmap-future-pathways</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The UK has been supporting research and development into the use of thorium nuclear fuels since such fuels were used in the Dragon reactor at Winfrith in the 1960s and 1970s. Examples of current activity on thorium and related technologies include academic research into thorium fuelled reactor systems and fuel cycle processes through Research Council grants to UK universities; collaboration on thorium fuels, via the UK Research Councils’ Energy Programme, with national nuclear energy programmes of other countries on safety, performance and non-proliferation; experimental development of thorium fuels through the NNL and private sector organisations, as part of international consortia, and thorium fuel modelling and fuel cycle scenario analysis by the NNL. These activities cover UK, EU and worldwide initiatives and receive either financial or strategic support from the Government.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Government and construction industry have agreed an ambitious Sector Deal which aims to transform the productivity of the sector, including measures to increase skills and apprenticeships. We are working with the Construction Leadership Council (CLC), Construction Innovation Hub and Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) to identify the skills needed for the construction sector of the future and helping design the qualifications frameworks and training programmes that will enable firms to train the next generation of apprentices in these skills. A joint Government and industry commitment to develop 50 new construction apprenticeship standards by the end of 2018 has already been exceeded, with 82 new apprenticeship standards agreed.</p><p> </p><p>Other measures include: a commitment to complete CITB’s reform programme by end 2019, to make it a more streamlined, responsive and effective organisation; an industry-led goal of increasing construction apprenticeship starts to 25k per annum by 2020; £34m investment in the Construction Skills Fund, to establish 20 onsite training hubs by 2020; an improved careers portal for the sector (through CITB’s GoConstruct), to help improve diversity of recruitment; work with industry to ensure sufficient high-quality work placements are available for the introduction of construction T Levels in 2020; and using public procurement to help drive investment in construction skills.</p>

star this property answer text <p>All nuclear new build projects are assessed on a case by case basis to ensure they provide value for money for taxpayers and consumers. Before a new nuclear power station can be built and operated, the operator must apply for and obtain a number of permissions from the independent regulators and from Government. The assessment of environmental impact is an important consideration in regulators deciding whether relevant permissions should be issued and what conditions should be attached to the permissions. In addition, potential new nuclear technologies are considered under the Justification Regulations, with ‘Justification’ being the process by which Government determines whether the potential benefits of a practice making use of ionising radiation outweigh its potential risks. Furthermore, all developers of new build stations are required to have a Funded Decommissioning Programme approved by the Secretary of State before nuclear-related construction can begin. This ensures the taxpayer does not bear the burden for future costs of turning the station into a greenfield site once generation has ceased.</p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>The development and deployment of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) is at an earlier stage than for plug-in electric vehicles, but there are hydrogen cars available on the UK market and major vehicle manufacturers are publicising their plans to increase production and bring new models to market over the next few years. We are moving in step with international progress on standards and technology on hydrogen as a transport fuel, ensuring that the UK retains its position at the forefront of the adoption of zero emission technologies. The Government’s £23m Hydrogen for Transport Programme supports hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles and hydrogen refuelling stations. It is funding the expansion of the hydrogen refuelling network into new locations and supporting the deployment of 300 vehicles as well as innovation and growth of UK hydrogen supply chain and manufacturing.</p> more like this
