Nuclear Reactors: Oldbury Power Station
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential for the Oldbury site to host (a) small modular reactors and (b) advanced modular reactors.
- Answer
-
As a site which has previously hosted a nuclear power station, Great British Energy – Nuclear’s (GBE-N) Oldbury site has great potential for new nuclear.
Oldbury remains under consideration for future projects and GBE-N will continue early work to evaluate the site to ensure it is ready for future deployment. This includes the potential to support any privately-led projects that might be developed by the nuclear industry.
