Is the UK leading the world with a Nuclear Renaissance?
Since the Starmer government came to power in 2024, it has made a series of announcements that put the UK in the vanguard of the claimed Nuclear Renaissance. The government is talking about a ‘Golden Age of Nuclear’ in the UK. However, closer examination shows that these announcements are mostly talk about what the government hopes to do and hopes might happen with no new projects in the pipeline. The onus will be on the private sector to come forward with proposals.
