Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the full estimated out-turn cost for each small modular reactor project planned by Great British Nuclear will include costs for a quantified risk register, and the value of any money set against a quantified risk register.

GBN (Great British Nuclear) is pushing forward its small modular reactor competition for UK deployment, which is based on fairness and transparency to ensure value for the British taxpayer. Final decisions will be taken in the spring.

GBN follows usual government best practice for delivering major projects.
