The UK is exploring a wide range of nuclear reactor technologies, including large reactors, small modular reactors (SMRs), and advanced micro-reactors, but risks delay unless the government prioritises specific technologies and supports a focused nuclear deployment plan.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new government deadline to align your nuclear tech strategy with UK's focused deployment plan. Delays increase if you don't cut technologies now and prepare your supply chain to match the chosen reactor types.
