Subject: Nuclear New Build Forum – update
Dear ……
As the National Policy Statement approaches, now is a critical time for all the organisations involved in new nuclear to come together and discuss their role in the future of the UK nuclear industry.
The Nuclear New Build Forum has been strategically positioned to occur soon after the National Policy Statement is issued, making this the key event in the industry calendar. With many of the pivotal organisations sending senior figures, this event will provide a vital platform for attendees to network and hear from those at the forefront of new nuclear in the UK.

Nuclear consultation evaluation report
Final report published 8 October 2009 http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/what_we_do/uk_supply/energy_mix/nuclear/consultations/evaluation_rep/evaluation_rep.aspx
Key conclusions
“Overall, in spite of the difficulties experienced, largely created by the context within which the consultation took place, and although there is always potential for improvement, this was a good process that has provided many detailed lessons that could improve consultation in future.
“The evaluation concludes that there were changes made to policy as a result of the consultation. The consultation strengthened the legitimacy and soundness of decision making. It provided a much stronger sense of public and stakeholder support for certain policy proposals, and a clearer idea of where there were still concerns.”
Five key concerns emerged from the responses received, which were then addressed by changes in policy. The Nuclear white paper 2008: ‘meeting the energy challenge’, published in January 2008, set out the Government’s policy:
(i) Waste
In answer to concerns about the management and disposal of radioactive waste. The Government’s conclusion on waste and decommissioning includes the following statement (pages 27 and 99 of the 2008 white paper):
“Our policy is that before development consents for new nuclear power stations are granted, the Government will need to be satisfied that effective arrangements exist or will exist to manage and dispose of the waste they will produce.”
(ii) Finance
In answer to concerns about ensuring that the private sector adequately provides for waste and decommissioning costs the 2008 white paper announced the establishment of the Nuclear Liabilities Financing Assurance Board (NLFAB) (para 82, and Annex C) to scrutinise plans to finance waste management. The establishment of the Board was designed to ensure that such advice was public, transparent and independent to meet concerns about waste management, economics and the need for long term financial and management arrangements.
Are you planning to win?
