Written statement made by Andrew Bowie (Conservative) on Wednesday, 7 February 2024 in the House of Commons, on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
Directions to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority in respect of the Springfields Nuclear Site
I am today laying a new Designation Direction in respect of the Springfields Nuclear Site. This amends the existing Designation Direction. This power has been exercised in accordance with section 5(4) of the Energy Act 2004, with the consent of Springfields Fuels Ltd (SFL).
This amendment enables new uranium conversion capabilities to be developed at Springfields, work on which should be delivered by the end of the decade. This is in line with HMG’s commitment in the Nuclear Roadmap and is a key part of reducing international dependence on Russian fuels.
