Nuclear Graduates Bubbles

Great British Nuclear

Great British Nuclear supports the UK’s nuclear industry by providing better opportunities to build and invest.

The government is committed to a programme of new nuclear projects beyond Sizewell C, giving industry and investors the confidence they need to deliver projects at speed.

Great British Nuclear (GBN) has been launched as part of the government’s Powering Up Britain plan.

Responsibilities

GBN is responsible for driving delivery of new nuclear projects. They will co-fund the selected technologies through their development and work with successful bidders on ensuring the right financing and site arrangements are in place.

This is in line with the government’s commitment to take 2 Final Investment Decisions next parliament.

Priorities

In 2023 the first priority of GBN is to launch a competitive process to select the best Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technologies. This began in April with market engagement. The down-selection process will be launched in the summer. Our ambition is to assess and decide on the leading technologies by autumn.
