| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “How confident are you that UK nuclear sites are adequately protected against cyber-attacks, even if they are state sponsored?” | 19 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Are you confident that those things that are low probability still remain low probability?” | 14 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Gareth, will the new nuclear power stations be climate-resilient over their lifetime, particularly given risks from rising sea levels, drought and rising water temperatures?” | 24 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Gareth, while reducing fossil fuel imports can strengthen energy security, some evidence points to risk in nuclear fuel supply chains, including Russian dependencies. How exposed is the UK to those risks?” | 31 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Modelling changes. In the last year or so, we have seen the Environment Agency release some new flood risk modelling. How is the regime adapting to updated information that might suggest problems could be worse than were previously considered?” | 39 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “It is not a consideration when regulating them, but if we end up with some large-scale sites and a whole range of smaller ones—for example, private ones that are not even grid-connected—we will have a whole range of sites and you have to protect them. Are you happy that planning is accounting for that now?” | 55 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Which partner nations would those be?” | 6 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Simon, you mentioned the SMR competition delays. Is that a sign that GBE-N does not have the capability, capacity or resourcing to manage it effectively?” | 25 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “It sounds like you probably agree with Gareth that running an AMR competition would not be sensible.” | 17 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Gareth, will the new nuclear power stations be climate-resilient over their lifetime, particularly given risks from rising sea levels, drought and rising water temperatures?” | 24 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “We have already touched on the issue of relying more on approvals by trusted international regulators. Can I start with you, Mustafa? I have constituents who are concerned that we are just going to accept, for example, US safety standards, as they perceive there to be a different safety culture in the USA. How do we ba…” | 83 |

| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “To follow up on AMRs, I was told at an industry event that it is tacitly agreed that France is specialising in molten salt-cooled reactors and we will specialise in high-temperature gas, plus lead-cooled for maritime applications. Is that how you see it? If so, would you still see advantages to having both molten salt …” | 70 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Simon, did that competition provide the certainty and investor confidence originally intended or, given all the delays and developer withdrawals, did it affect the UK’s attractiveness for SMR investment?” | 29 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Again, if I can move on, we had the GBE-N SMR design competition. Following on from what we have been talking about, selecting a single SMR design has advantages and disadvantages. Gareth, should the Government implement an equivalent competition for AMRs?” | 41 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Simon, did that competition provide the certainty and investor confidence originally intended or, given all the delays and developer withdrawals, did it affect the UK’s attractiveness for SMR investment?” | 29 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Are you saying that the deadline was wrong? You did not manage it quicker than the deadline.” | 17 |
| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Simon, you mentioned the SMR competition delays. Is that a sign that GBE-N does not have the capability, capacity or resourcing to manage it effectively?” | 25 |

| 22 Apr 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “We are in a difficult geopolitical environment at the moment. We have seen in Iran and Ukraine that energy infrastructure can be a military target. How is scenario-planning accounting for both large nuclear sites and a future fleet of more geographically dispersed SMRs, Simon?” | 44 |
