Nuclear power is a proven technology with modern reactors capable of reliably producing low-carbon electricity. Any new activity in the UK involving ionising radiation must first go through a process of regulatory Justification. This process requires that the overall societal benefits associated with the activity outweigh any potential health detriments. For any application involving a nuclear power station, the reliability of the proposed design and implications for energy security are carefully considered.<\/p>
<\/p>
My rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State in December 2014 decided that the UK ABWR \u2013 the technology proposed by Horizon Nuclear Power for deployment at Wylfa Newydd \u2013 was Justified for use in the UK. This decision followed a robust assessment of the application, and periods of consultation on both the application and proposed decision. The full decision is available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-justification-of-practices-involving-ionising-radiation-regulations-2004<\/a>, with Chapter 5 specifically addressing the topics of energy security and reliability. Further, in December 2017 the independent UK nuclear regulators granted design acceptance for the UK ABWR technology.<\/p>"}
