Securing a strong nuclear future

A nuclear roadmap highlighting the critical steps Government must take in order to achieve net-zero targets has been published today.  

Trudy Harrison MP shone a light on next generation nuclear to the energy minister during a visit to Copeland.

The local MP joined Energy Minister, Anne-Marie Trevlyan MP on a visit to the Civil Nuclear Constabulary where she discussed her roadmap to securing the area’s nuclear future.

The Nuclear Delivery Group reached a pivotal moment today as members joined together to present their proposed net-zero roadmap to Government.  

Trudy is providing an opportunity for constituents interested in hearing about local nuclear progress to join a virtual call.

“We cannot reach net-zero by 2050 without nuclear” said Copeland’s MP in a meeting of the Nuclear Delivery Group joined by the Energy Minister today. 

‘The Future is nuclear and it’s a bright one’ says Trudy Harrison MP on the release of the Government’s Energy White Paper. 

Recognising the urgency to go further to tackle climate change, the Prime Minister has laid out an ‘ambitious’ further commitment to achieving Net-Zero. 

A commitment to develop large and smaller-scale nuclear plants as well as advanced modular reactors has been announced by the Prime Minister today.

With less than a year to go until the United Nations 26th Climate Change summit, MPs Trudy Harrison and Virginia Crosbie held their inaugural Nuclear Development Group meeting with industry partners to discuss the role of atomic energy in achieving net zero and levelling up.

Trudy Harrison is a strong advocate for nuclear energy having worked at Sellafield and continuously raised the profile of the industry in Parliament and across the UK.
