New U.K. Advanced Nuclear Framework opens opportunities for U.S. firms
In a move that could lead to more U.S. nuclear companies gaining a foothold in the United Kingdom, the U.K. Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has published a first-of-its-kind Advanced Nuclear Framework. Key provisions in this framework include the government’s intention to create a pipeline of “credible projects” to help unlock private investment and plans to accelerate the building of new reactors to power AI data centers.
The 45-page document is organized into two parts. Part One describes the application procedure for the new U.K. Advanced Nuclear Pipeline and explains the Project Readiness Assessment process. Part Two outlines enabling conditions, such as those involving regulation, planning, technical skills, supply chains, and fuel, to help ensure that private projects have the foundations to succeed.
