	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2023 answer text <p>.</p><p>Nuclear power continues to be an important and proven source of reliable, clean energy, and as a result of this strong baseload provision, we have been able to move faster on a number of our key net zero objectives.</p><p> </p><p>A proportion of the nuclear generating capacity is likely to be unavailable at any given point due to routine inspections, maintenance, energy systems management and technical issues. A certain level of outage is to be expected and demonstrative of a very well regulated and safe technology.</p><p> </p><p>In 2021, nuclear power stations generated 46 TWh of electricity which was 15% of the electricity generated in the UK. The UK’s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor Fleet is ageing and has performed beyond original expectations providing extra years of generation.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the AGR fleet, Sizewell B will continue operating until at least 2035 and we have set out our ambition for a new generation of nuclear power stations, providing up to 24GW of electricity by 2050. The new reactor designs are very efficient. This includes new large-scale nuclear power stations like Hinkley Point C which alone will provide 3.2GW for around 60 years, and the next generation of small and advanced reactors are expected to be more efficient.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>2010 – 2023 (June): Annual number of outages and non-operational days at UK nuclear power

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2023 answer text <p>.</p><p>Nuclear power continues to be an important and proven source of reliable, clean energy, and as a result of this strong baseload provision, we have been able to move faster on a number of our key net zero objectives.</p><p> </p><p>A proportion of the nuclear generating capacity is likely to be unavailable at any given point due to routine inspections, maintenance, energy systems management and technical issues. A certain level of outage is to be expected and demonstrative of a very well regulated and safe technology.</p><p> </p><p>In 2021, nuclear power stations generated 46 TWh of electricity which was 15% of the electricity generated in the UK. The UK’s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor Fleet is ageing and has performed beyond original expectations providing extra years of generation.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the AGR fleet, Sizewell B will continue operating until at least 2035 and we have set out our ambition for a new generation of nuclear power stations, providing up to 24GW of electricity by 2050. The new reactor designs are very efficient. This includes new large-scale nuclear power stations like Hinkley Point C which alone will provide 3.2GW for around 60 years, and the next generation of small and advanced reactors are expected to be more efficient.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>2010 – 2023 (June): Annual number of outages and non-operational days at UK nuclear power

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2023 answer text <p>.</p><p>Nuclear power continues to be an important and proven source of reliable, clean energy, and as a result of this strong baseload provision, we have been able to move faster on a number of our key net zero objectives.</p><p> </p><p>A proportion of the nuclear generating capacity is likely to be unavailable at any given point due to routine inspections, maintenance, energy systems management and technical issues. A certain level of outage is to be expected and demonstrative of a very well regulated and safe technology.</p><p> </p><p>In 2021, nuclear power stations generated 46 TWh of electricity which was 15% of the electricity generated in the UK. The UK’s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor Fleet is ageing and has performed beyond original expectations providing extra years of generation.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the AGR fleet, Sizewell B will continue operating until at least 2035 and we have set out our ambition for a new generation of nuclear power stations, providing up to 24GW of electricity by 2050. The new reactor designs are very efficient. This includes new large-scale nuclear power stations like Hinkley Point C which alone will provide 3.2GW for around 60 years, and the next generation of small and advanced reactors are expected to be more efficient.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>2010 – 2023 (June): Annual number of outages and non-operational days at UK nuclear power

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2023 answer text <p>.</p><p>Nuclear power continues to be an important and proven source of reliable, clean energy, and as a result of this strong baseload provision, we have been able to move faster on a number of our key net zero objectives.</p><p> </p><p>A proportion of the nuclear generating capacity is likely to be unavailable at any given point due to routine inspections, maintenance, energy systems management and technical issues. A certain level of outage is to be expected and demonstrative of a very well regulated and safe technology.</p><p> </p><p>In 2021, nuclear power stations generated 46 TWh of electricity which was 15% of the electricity generated in the UK. The UK’s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor Fleet is ageing and has performed beyond original expectations providing extra years of generation.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the AGR fleet, Sizewell B will continue operating until at least 2035 and we have set out our ambition for a new generation of nuclear power stations, providing up to 24GW of electricity by 2050. The new reactor designs are very efficient. This includes new large-scale nuclear power stations like Hinkley Point C which alone will provide 3.2GW for around 60 years, and the next generation of small and advanced reactors are expected to be more efficient.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>2010 – 2023 (June): Annual number of outages and non-operational days at UK nuclear power

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2023 answer text <p>.</p><p>Nuclear power continues to be an important and proven source of reliable, clean energy, and as a result of this strong baseload provision, we have been able to move faster on a number of our key net zero objectives.</p><p> </p><p>A proportion of the nuclear generating capacity is likely to be unavailable at any given point due to routine inspections, maintenance, energy systems management and technical issues. A certain level of outage is to be expected and demonstrative of a very well regulated and safe technology.</p><p> </p><p>In 2021, nuclear power stations generated 46 TWh of electricity which was 15% of the electricity generated in the UK. The UK’s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor Fleet is ageing and has performed beyond original expectations providing extra years of generation.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the AGR fleet, Sizewell B will continue operating until at least 2035 and we have set out our ambition for a new generation of nuclear power stations, providing up to 24GW of electricity by 2050. The new reactor designs are very efficient. This includes new large-scale nuclear power stations like Hinkley Point C which alone will provide 3.2GW for around 60 years, and the next generation of small and advanced reactors are expected to be more efficient.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>2010 – 2023 (June): Annual number of outages and non-operational days at UK nuclear power

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2023 answer text <p>.</p><p>Nuclear power continues to be an important and proven source of reliable, clean energy, and as a result of this strong baseload provision, we have been able to move faster on a number of our key net zero objectives.</p><p> </p><p>A proportion of the nuclear generating capacity is likely to be unavailable at any given point due to routine inspections, maintenance, energy systems management and technical issues. A certain level of outage is to be expected and demonstrative of a very well regulated and safe technology.</p><p> </p><p>In 2021, nuclear power stations generated 46 TWh of electricity which was 15% of the electricity generated in the UK. The UK’s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor Fleet is ageing and has performed beyond original expectations providing extra years of generation.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the AGR fleet, Sizewell B will continue operating until at least 2035 and we have set out our ambition for a new generation of nuclear power stations, providing up to 24GW of electricity by 2050. The new reactor designs are very efficient. This includes new large-scale nuclear power stations like Hinkley Point C which alone will provide 3.2GW for around 60 years, and the next generation of small and advanced reactors are expected to be more efficient.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>2010 – 2023 (June): Annual number of outages and non-operational days at UK nuclear power

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2020 answer text <p>.British travellers who need and want to return to the UK is one of the Government's highest priorities. Since the outbreak in Wuhan, we estimate that over 1.3 million people have returned to the UK via commercial routes - the majority supported by our work to keep vital routes open. Since the Foreign Secretary announced £75m to support repatriation efforts on 30 March, the Government has so far delivered a programme of over 170 charter flights from where commercial options are no longer viable. These flights have brought over 35,800 people from 36 countries and territories, back to UK airports in the East Midlands, London and Manchester.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 08/06/2020 15:54:01 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams previous answer version 25538 answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
