Written Question
Nuclear Power: Decommissioning
Wednesday 11th July 2018

Asked by: Jeremy Lefroy (Conservative - Stafford)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential for UK businesses to export nuclear decommissioning expertise as a result of the French Government's decision to decommission 17 nuclear reactors by 2025.

Answered by Graham Stuart

Services are a vitally important part of the UK economy and UK expertise across all sectors are in high demand around the world. In January, the UK and French Governments signed a Declaration of Intent to enhance collaboration in civil nuclear decommissioning and waste management in France, the UK and potentially third countries.

The Department for International Trade, together with partners across HMG, is working closely with the French Government and the UK and French private sector to identify decommissioning opportunities in our respective civil nuclear markets.
