Wales, Wylfa Nuclear Power Station

What are small nuclear reactors and why does the UK want to build them?

The UK's first small nuclear power stations will be built on the Isle of Anglesey in north Wales. Back in June, the government promised £2.5bn for small modular reactors (SMRs). It is hoped SMRs will help meet the UK's growing electricity demands, be faster to develop than full size reactors and create thousands of skilled jobs.
