Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they expect Sizewell B to return to service.
Sizewell B was brought offline on 16 April 2021 for planned refuelling and maintenance work. The outage has been extended to 30 August 2021 to allow for additional work to be carried out. The reactor will not be returned to service without the permission of the regulator, the Office for Nuclear Regulation.
