Nuclear
From the 1950’s when the UK constructed the world’s first commercial nuclear power plant, the nuclear industry has balanced the promise of cheaper, cleaner, more reliable energy with concerns over safety, security and affordability. Over the last 3 decades UK public opinion turned against nuclear ensuring slowly, we began to fall behind. Today our nuclear industry has had a re-awakening. A massive investment in home-produced clean energy, nuclear will offer the reliable, resilient, and low-carbon power to drive us towards net zero by 2050, and just as importantly provide energy security.
Our 4C experts are at the forefront of the challenging mission to deliver up to 24 Gigawatts of nuclear capacity by 2050, supporting and leading projects across the UK, to help ensure the UK becomes a leading nuclear energy nation once again.
