10 Point Pod 03 – Nuclear

Nuclear power tends to be overlooked among the zero carbon generation options but it offers an attractive baseload alternative. 

The UK was the first to begin generating power from a commercial-scale plant, in the 1950s, and the government hopes to make similar innovative progress with small reactors. 

How do these small and modular reactors stack up, though? And even more importantly, how can builders control costs, which have come under fire at a time when prices continue to fall for renewables. 

Chris Lewis, UK Infrastructure Leader at EY, sits down with Energy Voice’s Ed Reed to talk through the challenges and opportunities of nuclear, with Anne Falchi, ‎Programme Manager in Sizewell C Financing EDF Energy, providing the operator’s perspective. 

Nuclear is the third point of the UK’s 10 point plan. Up next, electric vehicles.
