From a recent conference….
► Energy - a collective challenge for Europe
► Challenges of: Security of supply, Decarbonisation, Affordability
(competitively priced)
► Significant dependency on Nuclear generation
► Innovation in energy
► Small Modular Reactors and High Temperature Reactors
► Today, we are developing NNB in a different environment –
business, technological, financial and legal
► Nuclear power is long term and strategic
► How well is the market working to enable the strategic development of
nuclear power?

► How can we (collectively) drive costs down and manage risks to
attract sound investment?
► Missing the opportunity to set up a safety culture, supply chain,
internal capability would be to miss a key opportunities
► A point of concern - by 2030 there will be areas of Europe without
stable energy security of supply!
