Building our nuclear nation: government response to the Nuclear Regulatory Review 2025

UK to reform nuclear regulation: streamline approvals, cut delays, boost innovation, and ensure proportionate, efficient delivery.

▤ Verbatim text from source document

This publication sets out the government’s response to the Nuclear Regulatory Review 2025

The review found that the UK’s nuclear regulatory system has become fragmented, overly cautious and too slow to support national energy and defence priorities.

The government accepts this assessment and is taking forward a comprehensive programme of reform.
