Springfields: Nuclear Fuels
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 7 December 2021 to Question 85170, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure that Springfields nuclear site continues producing nuclear fuel for plants in the UK.
- Answer
-
The Springfields site sits at the heart of the UK’s nuclear fuel manufacturing capabilities, and we have a keen interest in its future. Earlier this month, I visited the site to see first-hand the important work taking place, including at the Oxide Fuels Complex. We have also established a working group attended by key stakeholders, including the site operator and unions. Proposals relating to the Springfields site and developing its capabilities, alongside sector co-investment, will be welcomed by the up to £75 million Nuclear Fuel Fund announced in the recent Spending Review.
