We are ensuring that any new nuclear power station built in England and Wales will meet high standards of environmental protection and waste management.
We are assessing two different nuclear power station designs:
We consulted on our assessment findings so far from 28th June 2010 to 18th October 2010.
view a summary report of responses for each of the designs
The reports summarise responses to our consultation on our findings so far from generic design assessment of two new nuclear power plant designs.
All responses received are now being carefully considered. In June 2011 we expect to publish a document for each design that sets out our decision, summarises the responses received and issues raised and sets out our views on those issues.
