To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what plans his Department has for the construction of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in Teesside.
Michael Shanks
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Government has published a refreshed planning framework for new nuclear reactors (EN-7), including small and advanced modular reactors, for consultation. The proposed planning framework provides a robust set of siting criteria to enable the identification of potentially suitable sites. Government would welcome private developer interest in identifying potentially suitable sites once EN-7 is designated.
