Enjoyed addressing a popular @NIAUK annual conference. The U.K. Government is very positive about nuclear! Major U.K. policy & funding announcements in recent days. The sector has the strong support of the PM, Secretary of State @KwasiKwarteng and I - Net Zero needs Nuclear!

Did you miss the full speech from #COP26 People’s Advocate, Sir David Attenborough? 💬 We’ve got you covered. 📺 Watch his full speech on @YouTube #TogetherForOurPlanet | #ClimateAction

UK's path to net zero set out in landmark strategy gov.uk/government/new…

'UK poised to confirm funding for mini nuclear reactors for carbon-free energy' NIA's Tom Greatrex: “Match-funding for @RollsRoyceUK would be huge signal to investors that the govt. wants SMRs alongside new large-scale stations to hit net zero." [1/2] theguardian.com/business/2021/…

@RickInnovate Yes it was, we should have the recording available soon and will make sure we tweet the link and include it on our website!

Excited to hear that Moorside has made the shortlist with 4 other sites as part of the UK STEP programme! #nuclear #fusion #STEP #NWNA #netzero gov.uk/government/new…

Five sites have been shortlisted as the potential future home of the UK’s prototype fusion energy plant – the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production, or “STEP”. • Ardeer • Goole • Moorside • Ratcliffe-on-Soar • Severn Edge Press Release gov.uk/government/new… #StepHome

A thoughtful report out by the Dalton Nuclear Institute which looks at pathways to how Net Zero can be acheived and the role of nuclear technologies within that #cleanenergy #netzerocarbon twitter.com/DaltonNuclear/…

Radiation forms naturally from minerals. It exists everywhere at different levels. #mythbustingnuclear

@TourNuclear When are you guys planning on heading off on your tour?

@KwasiKwarteng Great work. New nuclear build with a clear plan for large build, SMR, AMR and fusion will deliver clean reliable energy, fantastic careers for young people and boost UK exports

3000 #apprentices are employed within the #nuclear industry in Wales & the North West, creating the opportunity for a well-paid career in #science #engineering & other highly skilled fields @apprenticeships #NationalApprenticeshipWeek

NWNA Cross Party MPs meet with UKSMR. The PM has promised £215 m funding for SMRs - the natural home of which is Cumbria and North Wales. SMRs bring clean energy, jobs, business growth and boost advanced manfacturing. Clean, reliable energy that won't cost the earth #cleanenergy

Disappointing news for Wylfa but with SMR technologies, STEP fusion, cogeneration opportunities and other large build parties interested this won’t be the end for Europe’s best nuclear new build site google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.…

Nuclear for Net Zero wrote to Sir David Attenborough to ask his opinion of nuclear energy. His response: "I do not question the use of nuclear energy as a way of solving our energy problems in the short term". #climateaction #DavidAttenborough

@ziontree @guardianeco The R&D and demonstrator opportunities around fusion are large & could go some way to addressing lack of investment in northern regions that have missed out on large science infrastructure investments. BUT we need to deploy existing nuclear tech now to address net zero

@guardianeco the CCC’s sixth carbon budget report ‘balanced path to next zero’ has 8GW of new nuclear generation bringing total mix to 10GW - a modest amount. Love it or loathe it but we won’t get to net zero without nuclear
