Question
Will the Minister provide an update on the work of Cwmni Egino on the Trawsfynydd nuclear development of a new small modular reactor?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Economy
Cwmni Egino recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, owners of the Trawsfynydd site, to share information about its land and make sure its decommissioning plans and the new nuclear project are aligned.
They are also undertaking a market engagement exercise with potential SMR technology vendors to test the reality of their deployment at Trawsfynydd and also aims to work with the new Great British Nuclear delivery vehicle, to ensure that Trawsfynydd is selected as the first site for SMR in the UK.
