Written question asked by Sarah Jones (Labour) on Thursday, 22 February 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 26 February 2024. It was answered by Andrew Bowie (Conservative) on Friday, 1 March 2024 on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
Nuclear Power Stations: Cumbria
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent assessment her Department has made of the viability of Moorside as a nuclear development site; and whether her Department has had recent discussions with Sellafield Ltd on the land requirements for developing that site.
- Answer
-
Moorside is a candidate for new nuclear and one of a number of potential sites that could host civil nuclear projects. Whilst Great British Nuclear is working with the Government to support access to potential sites, no decisions have been made at present. In the case of Moorside, it would be natural for the site’s location adjacent to Sellafield to be factored into any decision.
