<p>Nuclear power is proven technology with modern reactors capable of producing safe
and secure low carbon electricity over many decades. Reactors deployed in the UK must
meet the robust independent regulatory requirements which include early assessment
of the safety, security and environmental impacts of reactor designs through the Generic
Design Assessment (GDA), prior to any application for a site-specific statutory Nuclear
Site Licence. This is a robust process, taking several years which ensures that all
aspects of new station design are thoroughly assessed prior to construction and operation.</p><p>
</p><p>Hitachi’s UK ABWR reactor design completed GDA in December 2017 and full details
of that assessment are available at <a href="http://www.onr.org.uk/new-reactors/uk-abwr/index.htm"
