Britain Intends to Build Another Seven Nuclear Power Stations

Britain could build up to seven new nuclear power stations as part of a radical expansion of homegrown energy following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng told The Sunday Telegraph, as reported by Reuters.

The Sunday Telegraph said ministers have agreed to set up a new development vehicle to speed up the planning process.

It said Britain's new energy security strategy, set to be unveiled on Thursday, is expected to commit the government to supporting the construction of at least two new large-scale nuclear plants by 2030 in addition to small modular reactors, Reuters writes.
