Abstract: The future of nuclear power in the United Kingdom is finely balanced. The relevant factors are discussed in the context of geographic arguments related to siting and safety. Aspects of the ‘British approach’ to nuclear power regulation, licensing, siting, and emergency planning are briefly described. Last, the planning intentions of the state power-utilities are reviewed and the impact of a new party-political dimension assessed.
