Increased Costs
Since the 2006 Energy Review the capital costs of nuclear have risen sharply, challenging
the viability of new nuclear build in the UK. Also, it has been recognised that the electricity and carbon markets are
not providing the right price signals for new clean energy investment, including nuclear.
Market reforms are
being considered by Ofgem and DECC to ensure that the £200bn investment in all forms of energy required over the next
10 years are delivered.
In the attached paper Tony Roulstone discusses the facts and forecasts of nuclear costs
and the options for market reform.

The Reactor Consideration of an ADSR System
Propsals for the development of an Accelerator Driven Sub-Critical Reactor have been defined in which the
accelerator technology development are laid out. A similar levet of clarity and development is required for the reactor.
In the attached paper, (given by Tony Roulstone to the ThorEA working meeting at Oxford in April 2010, the issues are
discussed and a strategy with a linked R&D work program are proposed to make the ADSR reactor
concept tangible and realistic.

Designer's View of Nuclear Energy
Part 1
A overview for the non-specialist of some of the design issues in the 21 st century. The paper
was given to undergraduate at Cambridge University in March 2010. It provides context for the renaissance of nuclear energy
and the essential principles before discussing the safety context against which all nuclear design is set and
providing some examples in vessel design.

UK Nuclear Market an Update Dec 09
In this paper the status of the developing nuclear new build program in the UK is laid out.
UK Nuclear Market Update
Accelerating Nuclear New Build - Agenda
for Ugency
The broad issues facing the UK when contemplating the twin energy policy challeneges of Climate
Change and Security of Supply, are examined and the barriers to the re-energising the UK nuclear market considered. The
paper makes proposals both for the scale of new build that should be contemplated and the means of accelerating the program
defined.
