answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <p>Since 2015, the Government has engaged with over 30 small and advanced reactor vendors through initiatives such as the SMR Competition (March 2016 – December 2017) and the ongoing Advanced Modular Reactor (AMR) Feasibility and Development Project.</p><p> </p><p>The sizes of individual reactor modules range from 4MWe – 465 MWe. Many vendors are designing reactors with the intention of multiple modules being deployed together, scaling up the generation output of an installation. This includes proposals for modular reactor power stations with the potential outputs around 1GWe. The reactor technology types range from conventional water-cooled reactors, to 4th generation reactors using novel fuels and coolants, as well as fusion reactor concepts.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 11/02/2019 15:36:51 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

tabling member printed	Lord Campbell-Savours
uin	HL13324
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <p>This Government continues to believe that nuclear has an important role to play in the UK’s future energy mix, but it must represent good value for taxpayers and consumers. The Wylfa and Moorside projects were not due to be operational until the late 2020s, and there are a range of options for replacing this capacity over that time-frame. Both sites remain potential sites for nuclear new build under the current National Policy Statement, and myself and my officials remain willing to meet with any viable proponents wishing to develop these sites. My rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State will set out a new approach to financing new nuclear in the planned energy White Paper in due course.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 11/02/2019 15:37:41 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
