The UK government recently committed to a £14.2bn investment to build the Sizewell C nuclear power station, ending years of delay and uncertainty over the project.
Now the project has been given the green light, how should the construction industry prepare for Sizewell C and a potential pipeline of future nuclear builds?
Nuclear expert Michael Fitzpatrick, who is a professor at Coventry University, joins the latest episode of the 21CC podcast to discuss the highs and lows of nuclear infrastructure development, as well as the critical lessons learned from the ongoing Hinkley Point C project.
The discussion also addresses:
- ·What role will Sizewell C play in the UK’s future energy mix?
- Is enough being done to improve efficiency, safety, and environmental stewardship across the project?
- Does the construction industry have the skills for a nuclear renaissance?
- What emerging technologies in the nuclear sector should construction professionals be aware of?
