Britain eases rules for nuclear power plant construction, including small modular reactors
The UK is accelerating the construction of nuclear power plants by removing outdated regulations. The UK government has decided to remove a number of regulatory restrictions to accelerate the construction of nuclear power plants, including the first to use small modular reactors.Prime Minister Keir Starmer stressed that no new nuclear power plants had been built in the UK for decades, which has led to energy dependence and rising prices. It is worth noting that the UK was the first country in the world to develop a nuclear reactor, but the last nuclear power plant was commissioned back in 1995. The lack of new projects in this area has set the country back in the global race for cleaner and more affordable energy sources. The new changes aim to restore the country's nuclear potential and strengthen energy security, paving the way for more stable prices and job creation.
