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.
