New build power stations

The Health and Safety Executive and the Environment Agency are working together to ensure that any new nuclear power stations build in the UK meet the highest standard of safety, security, environmental protection and waste management.

 We are currently assessing two new power station designs:

  • The UK-EPR designed by Areva and EDF, and
  • The AP1000 designed by Westinghouse.

For more information on the assessment process, which is taking place separately from any consideration of site-specific issues, and to view the reactor designs see the new nuclear power stations website.
