The UK government has announced plans to establish up to 12 advanced modular reactors in Hartlepool, alongside multiple small modular reactor (SMR) powered data centres in Nottinghamshire and a micro modular reactor at London Gateway port. This initiative aims to generate significant economic value, create thousands of jobs, and support the transition to clean energy.

Partnerships with major companies, including X Energy and Centrica, are set to drive this nuclear renaissance, which could enhance energy security and reduce household bills. Regulatory changes are also anticipated to streamline the deployment of new nuclear technologies.
