Great British Nuclear

Great British Nuclear (GBN) will deliver the government’s long-term nuclear programme and support the government’s ambition to deliver up to 24GW of nuclear power in the UK by 2050. This could mean nearly a quarter of the UK’s total power demands being met by low-carbon, secure nuclear energy, supporting the UK’s energy security, and contributing to our net zero targets. GBN’s first priority is to administer a competitive process to select the best small modular reactor (SMR) technologies from around the world. This SMR technology selection process will underpin government’s commitment to two nuclear Project Final Investment Decisions during the next Parliament, with at least one of these being into an SMR project.
