Conclusions

Recommended Government Action Inspectorate to start licensing choice of reactors for construction on existing sites. Set reasonable timetable for public enquiries which avoids indefinite delays As emissions of greenhouse gasses negligible, exempt from climate change levy Designate a site for long-term repository for nuclear waste
