Discussion request on the Security of SMRs (Small Nuclear Reactors). — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.
Debate on Sub‑Surface Protection for Modular Nuclear Reactor Sites, I am writing to request that the UK government schedule a debate on the national‑security, civilian‑protection, and long‑term resilience implications of siting any future modular nuclear reactors (MNRs) in the United Kingdom.
Above‑ground energy infrastructure is inherently vulnerable. A single successful strike or cascading failure could trigger severe environmental, social, and energy‑security consequences for the people of the United Kingdom. This proposal is not based on alarmism but on prudent, responsible planning. Civilian‑centred approach to nuclear‑energy resilience — that protects communities, strengthens national security, and ensures that our energy infrastructure remains robust in any future scenario.
