UK Energy: Grid Decarbonisation

Question

My Lords, when will the Government make a decision about the awarding of a contract for advanced small modular reactors in this country?

Answer

My Lords, a process for small modular reactors is being undertaken by Great British Nuclear at the moment. It has undertaken a technology appraisal, tenders have now come in, and I expect that the outcome of the process will be known by the end of spring. That is tied into SR discussions.
