Anonymous21 days ago

The UK government has announced sweeping reforms to its nuclear regulatory framework, accepting all 47 recommendations from John Fingleton's Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce after it concluded Britain is the most expensive country in the world to build nuclear power stations. The overhaul includes creating a new Commission on Nuclear Regulation, lifting decades-old site restrictions, slashing approval timelines to 24 months for advanced designs, and committing over £16.7 billion to new nuclear projects including Sizewell C and Rolls-Royce small modular reactors at Wylfa.
