Dr. Jaczko statement on UK-US nuclear deal
Jaczko, Gregory, statement on UK-US Nuclear Deal, Sep 17, 2025. https://nuclearcosts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/091725-Jaczko-UK-US-Nuke-Deal-Response-Statement.pdf .
[Dr. Gregory Jaczko, a former Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) chairman, released the following statement on the Atlantic Partnership for Advanced Nuclear energy, a September 2025 bilateral agreement to expand nuclear domestically and abroad:
“The Atlantic Partnership for Advanced Nuclear Energy between the United States and United Kingdom is a pointless PR effort that weakly mimics the failed 2006 Multinational Design Evaluation Programme (MDEP) initiative. None of it will bring down the cost of electricity for consumers and provide sustainable, clean electricity for the future.
The future of nuclear power in both nations can be summarized simply by the enormous sums of money wasted at Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C and Vogtle units 3+4: all billions over budget and over a decade late. The world needs affordable energy today, not 20 years from now. No amount of handshakes or pledges will change the fundamental challenges of building cost effective, timely nuclear power.”]
