Progress new nuclear NPS EN-7 consultation, meet deadline, and identify all reactor sites

Recommendation
The Government should progress the consultation on the new NPS EN-7 for nuclear power and should meet its previously stated deadline of early 2025, and ideally publish the new NPS earlier than the deadline. Any update should identify where reactors smaller than 1 GW can be sited, as well as sites for larger reactors. (Paragraph 267) Nuclear decommissioning and waste
