Faced with the continuing energy crisis, its binding net-zero commitments and the fact that the most of its existing nuclear fleet is due for decommissioning soon, the UK is on the cusp of embracing a major revival in nuclear energy. With Hinkley C already under construction and a commitment by the government to spend £679 million to take a 50% stake in Sizewell C during its development phase, the next big step will be the launch of Great British Nuclear, a new body which will oversee the development of new reactors in the UK and create a pipeline that will enable the industry to plan with certainty for the future.
City & Financial Global are hosting this full day conference which will serve as a platform for the UK Government officials, key nuclear stakeholders and other industry experts to discuss the key issues involved in the UK’s nuclear renaissance. The discussion will also include a review of new nuclear outside the UK.
This important gathering will be chaired by Dr Tim Stone CBE, Chair at Nuclear Industry Association and at Nuclear Risk Insurers. As a member of the Nuclear Industry Association, City & Financial Global is pleased to have the NIA as an official supporter of the summit.
We are delighted to share that East of England Regional Chair Biplab Rakshi will speaking at this highly anticipated event!
