This week’s Infra Dig podcast sees IJGlobal editorial director Angus Leslie Melville welcome back regular guest Dr Tim Stone CBE to talk about last week’s announcement by the UK government that nuclear is receiving a shot in the arm.
Before delving into the UK’s ambition to deliver 24GW of new nuclear energy by 2050, Tim gives a brief update on the 4 Ukrainian nuclear power plants and then it’s all about British nuclear and cross-party support to deliver an ambitious programme.
Tim – who currently serves as chair of both the Nuclear Risk Insurers and the UK's Nuclear Industry Association – talks candidly about the challenges being faced and the massive investment programme that finally looks to have the support that will catapult it off the drawing board.
