A nuclear society: rebuilding perceptions of nuclear energy
The nuclear industry has historically had a fairly tumultuous relationship with wider society. Early perceptions of nuclear energy were generally positive, with it viewed as a beacon of how technology went hand in hand with increasing prosperity. However, a history of highly-publicised leaks, discharges and assorted incidents have created a legacy of societal mistrust of nuclear energy. In this article, Professor Adrian Bull from The University of Manchester examines what measures can be taken by industry and government to re-invigorate the UK’s nuclear sector and its relationship with the public.

Nuclear Power: The Role of Government

In 2006, Prime Minister Tony Blair assured Britain that nuclear was “back on the agenda with a vengeance”. Boris Johnson has described his commitment to deliver nuclear at “warp speed”, and the three intervening Prime Ministers have also emphasised their support for nuclear. Yet Britain’s first new nuclear plant – Hinkley Point C (HPC) – is still some years from operation and, despite recent progress at Sizewell C, there is no confirmed successor project. Academics from The University of Manchester’s Dalton Nuclear Institute, Adrian Bull and Will Bodel, examine the gap between intention and reality and highlight policy recommendations from a new paper by the Dalton Nuclear Policy Group.
