Enjoyed addressing a popular @NIAUK annual conference. The U.K. Government is very positive about nuclear! Major U.K. policy & funding announcements in recent days. The sector has the strong support of the PM, Secretary of State @KwasiKwarteng and I - Net Zero needs Nuclear!

NWNA Cross Party MPs meet with UKSMR. The PM has promised £215 m funding for SMRs - the natural home of which is Cumbria and North Wales. SMRs bring clean energy, jobs, business growth and boost advanced manfacturing. Clean, reliable energy that won't cost the earth #cleanenergy

Disappointing news for Wylfa but with SMR technologies, STEP fusion, cogeneration opportunities and other large build parties interested this won’t be the end for Europe’s best nuclear new build site google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.c…

Nuclear for Net Zero wrote to Sir David Attenborough to ask his opinion of nuclear energy. His response: "I do not question the use of nuclear energy as a way of solving our energy problems in the short term". #climateaction #DavidAttenborough

One of the most eye-opening things you can say in conversation. Make sure first they know you're talking about ALL energy - including flying, heating, cooking, hot water - everything.
Today is the first #WorldNuclearEnergyDay celebrating providing the world with clean, reliable affordable energy.
