To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the deterioration of the fuel rod sealings at pressure reactors installed in Taishan, China, for the Sizewell C nuclear power project.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the deterioration of the fuel rod sealings at pressure reactors installed in Taishan, China, for the Sizewell C nuclear power project.
As we stated in our response to the consultation on a Regulated Asset Base (RAB) for nuclear published on 14th December 2020, we believe that a RAB is a credible model for funding nuclear projects, as it should reduce the cost of finance and thereby reduce consumer bills.
We are also considering whether a RAB model could be applied to other low carbon technologies, including transport and storage infrastructure for carbon dioxide (outlined in the government’s response to the carbon capture, usage and storage business models consultation).
We have always been clear that any new nuclear project must provide value for money for consumers and taxpayers.
Currently no decisions have been taken concerning Government financing of the Sizewell C nuclear power project, ahead of the final investment decision.
The Government continues to explore the use of a Regulated Asset Base model for new nuclear projects and believes that this could be a viable means by which to finance new projects. Decisions on how the model would be applied to new projects have yet to be taken and would be subject to value for money and all relevant approvals.
BEIS officials are engaged regularly with representatives from both EDF Energy and the Office for Nuclear Regulation (the ONR) on a wide range of matters relating to nuclear reactors.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the Internal Review prepared for the EDF Board in 2015 conducted by Yannick d’Escatha on the economic viability of the European Pressurised Reactor being built at Hinkley; and when he first became...

The Internal Review was a matter for EDF and was widely known about at the time; for example, it was referred to in a press release issued by EDF on 12 March 2016.
The Government conducted due diligence on the project before entering into the contractual agreements. EDF, as the lead investor in Hinkley Point C, is responsible for the project’s funding and construction schedule. Any additional costs incurred are the responsibility of EDF, and its fellow shareholders in the project, and will not fall on taxpayers or consumers.

Any additional costs incurred are the responsibility of EDF and its fellow shareholders in the project, and will not fall on taxpayers or consumers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Royal Navy Nuclear Reactor Test Facility Review commissioned by his Department's Chief Scientific Advisor, dated October 2014, which of the recommendations of that review have been implemented; and on what date each of those recommendations were implemented.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Royal Navy Nuclear Reactor Test Facility Review commissioned by his Department's Chief Scientific Advisor, dated October 2014, which of the recommendations of that review have been implemented; and on what date each of those recommendations were implemented.
The Royal Navy Nuclear Reactor Test Facility Review's recommendations were considered and where appropriate incorporated into a routine business approach. These are now being delivered through the work of Defence Nuclear Organisation and Submarine Delivery Agency.
The Ministry of Defence does not hold the information in the format requested and that data could be provided only at a disproportionate cost.
