Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the 10 Downing Street press release entitled PM call with President Trump of the United States: 23 October 2026, what UK-US nuclear energy projects are currently under development or consideration, and what the expected value of UK investment and economic benefits is for each project.

In September 2025, the UK and US agreed the Atlantic Partnership for Advanced Nuclear Energy, covering cooperation on advanced reactor deployment, streamlined regulation and the development of secure nuclear fuel supply chains.

Subsequently, the Advanced Nuclear Framework was published in February, which provides a route for private projects to apply to the UK Advanced Nuclear Pipeline. This provides a route towards development for privately-led projects in the UK, including UK–US projects.

As privately-led commercial projects, the value and economic benefits, as well as project timelines, will be determined by the individual projects. Projects that successfully join the Pipeline will be published on gov.uk.
