Energy: Draft National Policy Statement for Nuclear Power Generation (EN-6)
I do not normally interrupt the Minister but I genuinely do not understand the basis on which the IPC can say no. There is an absolute presumption, in the way in which the report is written, that these sites are suitable for nuclear power. It is much stronger than the usual planning regime—I think they are called PPSs. On what basis, which would not immediately be appealed against in some way, can they say no?
