The Advanced Nuclear Framework sets out how the government will create an enabling policy environment for private sector investment in advanced civil nuclear projects. It is designed to support the development, commercialisation and deployment of innovative nuclear projects within the UK energy system.
- Part One introduces the UK Advanced Nuclear Pipeline and the Project Readiness Assessment process, enabling projects with strong plans to access early engagement and potential future support
- Part Two outlines the UK’s enabling conditions, from regulation and planning to skills, supply chain, and fuel, ensuring that private projects have the foundations to succeed
