(SMRs) and is awaiting the outcome of a feasibility study, led by the National Nuclear
Laboratory with the support of a consortium formed from industry. The study will make

industry or any other body propose to deploy an SMR in the UK then the independent
regulators will ensure compliance of the design with safety, security and environmental
legislation.</p><p> </p>
