Publish secondary legislation clarifying Great British Nuclear's remit, funding model, and role in future projects.

Recommendation
In response to this Report, the Government should set out additional detail on how Government will intersect with Great British Nuclear, including details of Great British Nuclear’s exact remit and funding model, and the formal split of responsibilities with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. To aid this, the Government should publish the required secondary legislation that will support the creation of Great British Nuclear. Within this detail, the Government should clearly define what the role for Great British Nuclear will be on supporting new nuclear projects beyond the initial small modular reactors competition, including in relation to gigawatt size projects beyond Sizewell C and deployment of advanced modular reactors when technologically ready.
