UK nuclear adviser warns EU rules could slow Britain's nuclear push

John Fingleton, a top nuclear adviser, warns that EU regulatory 'risk aversion' could impede the UK's nuclear expansion plans, urging Whitehall to avoid being 'locked in' by EU rules. The statement signals potential friction between UK nuclear ambitions and EU regulatory alignment, though it remains advisory in nature. This matters as it could influence UK energy policy direction and investment decisions in the nuclear sector.
