"Mini-nuclear power plants will be allowed almost anywhere outside built-up areas, as ministers relax planning rules to allow a “reawakening” of atomic electricity.
Under plans to quadruple capacity in the next quarter of a century, ministers want a fleet of “small modular reactors” to be built around Britain alongside large power plants.
Unlike conventional plants, small modular reactors do not need to be built on the coast and the government wants to open up far more areas as potential sites, in a developer-led approach that will replace rules that allow nuclear power stations only in eight named locations."
