Synopsis:

The May 2007 White Paper, "Meeting The Energy Challenge: A White Paper on Energy (Cm. 7124)" (ISBN 9780101712422), set out the Government's international and domestic strategy to address two main challenges: tackling climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions; and ensuring clean and affordable energy as the country becomes increasingly dependent on imported fuel. An online consultation on nuclear power and the role of the private sector, was produced at the same time."Meeting the Energy Challenge - A White Paper on Nuclear Power (Cm. 7296)" sets out the Government's decision taken in response to the consultation. The Government believes it is in the public interest that new nuclear power stations should have a role to play in the country's future energy mix alongside other low-carbon sources. It also believes that energy companies should have the option of investing in them and that the Government should take active steps to open up the way to the construction of new nuclear power stations. It will be for the energy companies to fund, develop, and build the new stations including meeting the full costs of decommissioning and their full share of waste management costs.Section 1 summarises the consultation process, while Section 2 addresses the key issues that arose from the consultation and how they have been taken into account in shaping policy and reaching conclusions.Section 3 outlines the facilitative actions the Government will take to reduce the regulatory and planning risks associated with investing in new nuclear power stations.The Paper's Annexes cover: alternatives to nuclear power; proposed processes on justification and strategic assessment of sites; and regulatory and advisory structure for nuclear power.
