We are delighted to welcome you back for the third edition of Nuclear Strategy Great Britain.
This year, our focus expands to reflect the full nuclear lifecycle, bringing together insights across licensing, policy, regulation, finance, and technology, alongside key updates from major projects. The combination of lessons learned and a growing emphasis on more streamlined processes is helping to establish a stronger, more effective framework for delivering new nuclear in Great Britain.
Since we last met, there has been significant progress across the sector. Final Investment Decision has been reached for Sizewell C, Rolls-Royce SMR has been selected in the GBE-N competition and announced Wylfa as a site, while new partnerships such as Centrica and X-energy, alongside alliances between EDF and Holtec, signal increasing momentum and collaboration across the industry.
At the same time, the recommendations from the Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce are driving a shift towards greater alignment across regulatory bodies, with a clearer focus on outcomes rather than process. The establishment of the National Wealth Fund, aimed at supporting strategic infrastructure and clean energy investment, alongside a renewed focus on energy security and rising demand, means the conditions are increasingly aligning for nuclear to play a defining role in the UK’s energy future.
Nuclear has a real opportunity to come to the forefront—and we are pleased to be on that journey with you.
Thank you,
Jonathan Torrealba

The importance of internal and external hazard protection in nuclear facilities, particularly in terms of barriers and separation, cannot be overstated.
These protective measures are essential for ensuring the safety and integrity of nuclear power plants and small modular reactors (SMRs). Nuclear facilities can face multiple hazards simultaneously. For example, an earthquake can be followed by extreme weather, fire, and flooding.
Robust barriers and separation systems must address these challenges, be designed to prevent accidents, protect health and safety of the public, limit environmental
impact, and ensure the long-term viability of nuclear energy.
The process of designing and gaining regulatory approval for a nuclear facility involves an approach that integrates requirements, engineering design, safety considerations, and regulatory compliance.
All this calls for a multidisciplinary approach, with input from engineers, safety experts, regulators, and others. Adherence to strict regulatory standards ensures that nuclear designs meet safety requirements and mitigate both internal and external threats. Continuous updates and periodic safety reviews are essential to ensure that the facility remains resilient
to evolving hazards throughout its operational life and to guarantee the safety of the staff, the public, and the environment.
The safety standards drawn up by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) highlight the wide scope of the “human induced” and “natural” events that have to be considered.
The human induced events listed range from accidental aircraft crashes and explosions to electromagnetic interference. While the list of natural events is equally wide ranging, and includes tsunamis and storm surges as well as dam failures, cyclones and hurricanes, dust and sandstorms and volcanism.
‘Redundancy’, ‘diversification’, and ‘separating barriers’ are the crucial principles when it comes to enhancing safety and mitigating those multiple risks and threats. Redundancy involves having multiple, identical, or diverse safety systems or components that can perform the same safety functions. It ensures that if one system or component fails, there are backups to maintain safety.
Diversification is the practice of using different technologies, materials, or approaches in safety systems and processes. It minimises the risk of failures where multiple components or systems fail due to a shared vulnerability.
However, the first two principles can only be maintained if hazards and their associated consequences are prevented from spreading to multiple systems, components, or structures.
And this must be accomplished by establishing and maintaining robust barriers and separation systems, which puts a strong focus on the role of cable and pipe seals. Physical separation systems are designed to address, contain, withstand, and mitigate the impacts of multiple simultaneous challenges. Their function is to prevent, slow down or limit the effects in the event of an accident.
‘Defence in depth’ is a fundamental multi-layered safety principle applied in the design, operation, and regulatory oversight of nuclear
power facilities. The goal is to ensure that even if one or more barriers fail, there are reliable additional layers of protection.
The seals that we produce at Roxtec are tested for everything from seismic events, effects of lightning strikes and electromagnetic interference to fire, gas, and flooding.
As well as preventing multiple risks they deliver certified protection against concurrent and consequential hazards. They can maintain safety even when one event causes another and the threats accumulate. They can also limit the effect and severity of occurring external and internal hazards.
They add blast protection, reduce the risk of partial discharge activity, and limit the effects of an arc-flash. They also provide electromagnetic shielding as well as bonding and grounding.
And since they are area efficient and capable of handling very high cable density in a neat and orderly manner, they make it possible to reduce the number of openings needed in a fire barrier.
Roxtec cable and pipe transits are gastight and enable full control of gas, steam, smoke, and particles. They respond to the need for preventing gas leakage and to requirements regarding separation of different combustible materials. And standardising our modular-
based seals in walls, floors, and cabinets adds both flexibility and scalability to projects.
Our products may be small modular components in a huge plant or a series of small modular reactors, but simplify expansion to nuclear power projects, and protection for all layers of conventional defence.
We have the sealing expertise and a regulatory compliant technology, as well as a full range of services, including technical support, customisation, installation training, safety inspections, and digital tools for transit design and cable management.
Put all that together and we deliver the complete solution – protecting against multiple hazards and delivering that defence in depth that is so vital to the nuclear industry and those that work in it.
Roxtec is the world leader within flexible cable and pipe transits. Since the business was founded in Sweden in 1990 it has grown successfully to cover all continents.
The business is now the global leader in the manufacture of innovative cable and pipe transit systems, supplying many of the world’s biggest firms. It employs more than 1,000 staff across 30 sales companies.
Tarmac is the UK’s leading supplier of construction and building materials, providing vital services for major infrastructure projects. It has also contributed to nationally significant programs such as HS2 and the 2012 Olympics.
Building on this foundation of major project delivery, the services that Tarmac delivers in the nuclear sector have been developed around continuous learning from its support of nuclear programs in the UK, and internationally through its parent company, CRH.
Tarmac’s experience includes long term batch plant operations at Sellafield, Aldermaston, and
Capenhurst, as well as provision of specialist products to sites, such as Devonport, and ongoing aggregate supply contracts for Sizewell C.
Across this activity, Tarmac’s work is underpinned by a strong nuclear safety culture. Core to this nuclear safety culture is an ISO 19443 accredited management system which provides quality assurance and traceability through the production of materials at its UK quarries, right through to site delivery.
With a top-down commitment within the business to our nuclear safety policy, there is a clear understanding of the individual
responsibility all personnel has to safeguard the quality of materials and services in support of nuclear safety.
To help embed this culture, Tarmac personnel undertake specific training and development coordinated by its Ofsted Outstanding rated Safety Park in support of their work in the nuclear industry.
Tarmac supports customers through the project lifecycle, with early engagement enabling its innovation team to undertake research and development capabilities within our UKAS laboratories in support design development and verification
for specialist nuclear concrete requirements.
Supporting this work, the innovation team has access to the dedicated nuclear personnel in the UK along with teams of experts from across the CRH business who bring knowledge and experience of a wide range of nuclear programs against varying design standards and specification.
At the delivery stage, technical experts work with customers teams through delivery offering support in material selection, grading, testing and in the development of quality regimes at each stage of the delivery process ensuring traceability and verification against defined quality requirements.
Logistics management is also key, with the organisation being the sectors largest rail freight operator delivering 9mt of materials annually. A multi modal approach using rail, marine and road provides sustainable, flexible and reliable logistics.
Working closely with its customers and consultants, Tarmac helps optimise delivery solutions within constraints as set out in Development Consent Orders to minimise the impact of the works on the local community.
On site, Tarmac has a team of security vetted, suitably quality and experienced site operations
personnel enabling delivery of infrastructure within site boundaries. This includes the erection and operation of batching plants on or adjacent to customers site to enable reliable, secure, quality assured supply of concrete for nuclear construction.
Across the UK, Tarmac’s operations support communities in and around its production sites, many of which are located in areas with ongoing nuclear operations or contributing to the current new build programs. Tarmac’s materials form the very foundations and structures which enable the safe operations of nuclear facilities.

There is a long standing habit of treating nuclear power as something uniquely complex and separate from the wider economy. In reality, most of a nuclear project relies on the same disciplines that shape other major infrastructure programmes. Around 70 percent of a new plant is non nuclear in nature. Only the reactor island carries truly specialised regulatory and safety requirements. The wider project follows familiar industrial principles.
What’s genuinely special today is the moment.
Advanced nuclear now sits at an inflection point familiar to every capital intensive industry. Early phases reward discovery: technology competition, diversity of concepts, and rigorous first of a kind discipline. But long term value is created during deployment. Cost curves do not fall because technologies exist; they fall when delivery systems repeat. Learning compounds when designs stabilise, interfaces standardise, and projects are delivered in series rather than as isolated demonstrations.
This is where advanced nuclear must now focus. The opportunity to move from isolated projects to a predictable, repeatable and scalable industrial programme is within reach. Achieving that shift requires the same discipline that underpins every successful sector: protected standardisation across the whole delivery system, not just the technology.
Aerospace provides a clear parallel. The Airbus A320 family became one of the most successful aircraft programmes in history not through continual redesign, but through protection of core design baselines. That consistency allowed supply chains to mature and production to expand across multiple sites without resetting learning curves. Crucially, the discipline applied as much to manufacturing processes and certification artefacts as to the aircraft itself.
Advanced nuclear is also a global contest for capital, capability and industrial advantage. Investors want markets that combine near term credibility with visible long term scale. Manufacturers and suppliers invest where they can see sustained, repeatable demand rather than one off deployments.
The UK Advanced Nuclear Framework is an important step in strengthening national credibility. It gives privately led projects a route into a recognised pipeline. But credibility alone is not enough. Industrialisation requires the UK to demonstrate that projects sit within a coherent programme rather than a sequence of individual builds. Scale emerges when financing, regulation, infrastructure planning and governance reinforce repeatable delivery.
Offshore wind illustrates this clearly. Early projects proved feasibility, but meaningful cost reduction and supply chain investment only arrived
when projects were delivered in series under consistent frameworks. The same pattern appears in South Korea’s nuclear programme, where convergence around the APR1400 enabled multiple domestic builds and a major export capability.
The risk for the UK is the missing middle between discovery and deployment. Without a deliberate pathway that gradually favours convergence around shared baselines and delivery systems, learning will not compound and supply chains will not invest with confidence. Neutrality without direction risks drift.
This moment matters because demand is rising sharply.
Artificial intelligence growth zones, hyperscale data centres, defence infrastructure, advanced manufacturing and hydrogen production are reshaping energy requirements. These loads require standardised, repeatable energy systems delivered at scale.
The Advanced Nuclear Framework does not need to choose winners. Its value lies in signalling the shift from project readiness to programme intent. Nuclear is not inherently special. But this moment is. The countries that move decisively now will build not only reactors, but the industrial ecosystems capable of delivering entire fleets.

The UK nuclear sector is entering a decisive phase
After years focused on policy ambition, funding models, and reactor innovation, the conversation is now shifting firmly towards delivery.
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) present one of the most significant opportunities for the UK’s energy system we’ve seen in decades. If deployed successfully at scale, they could play a central role in strengthening UK energy security, supporting industrial decarbonisation, and providing reliable low-carbon power for generations to come.
The UK Government’s ambition to expand nuclear capacity significantly by mid-century, alongside the development of a national SMR programme, underlines the scale of the opportunity now emerging for the sector.
But the next differentiator in SMR deployment will not be reactor design alone. It will be delivery strategy.
As the sector moves from ambition into implementation, a new reality is becoming clear - successful deployment will depend not only on reactor technology, but on the ability, via a compatible planning strategy, to translate that technology into deliverable infrastructure.
In the UK context, that challenge is defined by land, planning, and consent.
Every nuclear project ultimately becomes a place-based decision. Site selection, environmental limitations, grid connectivity, community acceptance, and the consenting route all shape programme certainty. For SMR developers entering the UK market, these factors can quickly become the critical path to delivery.
This is particularly important as developers consider how SMR programmes will be rolled out
nationally. Questions around whether sites fall within the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIP) regime, how Development Consent Orders compare with local authority planning routes, and how cumulative environmental impacts are assessed will significantly influence timelines.
These are not simply procedural questions. They shape risk, investment confidence, and ultimately the pace of deployment.
Experience from complex regulated infrastructure projects (including those within the nuclear fuel cycle and other major energy developments) demonstrates that planning strategy is most effective when it’s embedded early. Waiting until a preferred site is selected before considering consenting pathways or environmental limitations can introduce unnecessary delays and cost.
Embedding planning strategy at the earliest stage
Conversely, integrating planning, environmental assessment, and stakeholder engagement at the site
selection stage can significantly de-risk projects.
Early strategy enables developers to understand the planning landscape, identify potential consenting routes, assess environmental sensitivities, and engage constructively with local communities and decisionmakers. It also allows programme sequencing to be aligned with realistic consenting timelines.
For first-of-a-kind SMR projects in particular, this integrated approach is critical. Novel technologies will inevitably attract scrutiny, and confidence in delivery will depend on demonstrating credible pathways from concept to consent.
What good delivery strategy looks like
Successful programmes typically bring together planning, environmental, and infrastructure specialists alongside engineering and commercial teams from the outset. This allows developers to move beyond theoretical deployment models and begin shaping projects that are genuinely buildable within the UK regulatory framework.
When this alignment happens early, planning becomes an enabler rather than a constraint. It provides clarity to investors, confidence to communities, and structure to complex infrastructure programmes.
The scale of the opportunity for the UK nuclear sector is substantial. But so too are the risks of underestimating the planning and consenting landscape.
As the industry moves from ambition to delivery, the interaction between reactor innovation and land-use reality will increasingly determine which projects succeed.
Axis has a long and demonstrable record of supporting complex energy and nuclear infrastructure projects for our key clients across the UK, helping associated companies and developers to navigate planning, environmental assessment, and stakeholder strategy to translate nationally significant ambitions into consented, deliverable schemes
If you’re attending Nuclear Strategy Great Britain, we’d love to speak with you. The Axis team will be in the Choir Circle Foyer throughout the day. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss how early planning strategies can help accelerate SMR deployment in the UK.
