The aim of this programme is to assess the feasibility of innovative reactor projects and to accelerate development of promising designs. Government also announced up to £12m for the UK Regulators to increase their capability and capacity to assess and license new designs.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has committed to phasing out electricity generation using unabated coal by 2025. It is unlikely that any small modular reactor nuclear plants would be operational in the UK by this date. However, several small reactor developers have expressed an interest in entering the UK Generic Design Assessment (GDA) process in the near future. GDA is a process that enables regulators to assess new nuclear reactor designs in advance of an application to build a reactor at a specific site.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 27/03/2018 12:23:03 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
