Britain's Dual Approach to Small Nuclear Reactors: State and Private Investments
The UK is pursuing two distinct strategies for small nuclear reactor development. The government has backed a British-designed reactor in Wales, while a private company is investing in American-designed reactors in England. The state-supported project involves Rolls-Royce SMR reactors, with significant public funding. In contrast, the private initiative by Community Nuclear Power plans to build Westinghouse AP300 reactors without public money. This dual approach reflects different business models and technological choices in the UK's nuclear strategy.
