Decisions needed so UK nuclear output reaches 10 GW by early 2030s: report

摘要

“Urgent decisions” on a new funding model for nuclear construction and where in the UK new nuclear capacity would be sited are needed by the UK government to ensure that nuclear power generation capacity in the country stays around the 10 GW mark in the early 2030s, a report by a UK parliamentary group has found. The report, “New Zero Needs Nuclear - a Roadmap to 2024,” produced by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Nuclear Energy, noted that, with the exception of the 1,250-MW Sizewell B pressurized water reactor, or PWR, all of the existing nuclear fleet of advanced gas-cooled reactors, or AGRs, will have retired by 2030.
