The Government launched the Alternative Routes to Market for New Nuclear Projects consultation on the 11th January 2024. This consultation explores what steps Government can take to enable different routes to market for Advanced Nuclear Technologies (ANTs) and how Government can support the private sector to bring forward new nuclear projects. In the case of Moorside, it would be natural for the site’s location adjacent to Sellafield to be factored into any decision.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 01/03/2024 07:24:11 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie

The Government’s Nuclear Roadmap has set out plans to streamline future nuclear development to make Britian the best place in the world to invest in nuclear. We believe the existing EN-6 sites, such as Moorside, are likely to retain inherent positive attributes that make them suitable for consideration for development.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 29/02/2024 11:44:29 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie

These plans include awarding 70 percent of the value of construction to UK businesses, including £4.4bn of investment in Suffolk and the East of England during construction, which would support thousands of jobs in the UK’s national nuclear supply chain and related sectors. The Government has committed to publishing a full value for money assessment at the point of a final investment decision.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 26/02/2024 06:58:39 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2024 answer text <p>On 8 November 2018 Toshiba announced it would wind-up NuGen, the UK developer set to deliver a new nuclear project at Moorside. This was a commercial decision for the company. This was not a Government project and so the Department has not assessed economic impact. We have launched a public consultation on a proposed new policy for siting new nuclear power stations (as the first step towards developing a new nuclear National Policy Statement). The Moorside site is listed in the current National Policy Statement (EN-6) and these sites are likely to have attributes that make them potentially suitable for new nuclear development.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 26/02/2024 07:15:35 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie
