2 INTRODUCTION

This report has been prepared as part of a study commissioned by the Sustainable
Development Commission (SDC) into the role of nuclear power in the low carbon 
economy. The Government is conducting a fresh review of energy policy, and the 
SDC has therefore decided to conduct its own review of nuclear power, enabling it 
to update its position on the subject in advance of a formal consultation.

The study covers five areas, each being the subject of a separate contract. This 
document covers matters relating to Safety and Security (Contract 3), and other 
studies (not necessarily by AMEC NNC) deal with Economics, Waste and 
Decommissioning, Public Perceptions and Community Issues, and Resource 
Availability. Some of the matters covered in this report may impinge on these 
other topics.

For the purpose of the study, it is assumed that any new reactor will be an 'advanced' 
pressurised water reactor (PWR) or similar advanced reactor, in line with industry 
expectations. Candidate designs include the Westinghouse AP-1000 and the 
Framatome-ANP EPR (European Pressurised [water] Reactor). This study makes 
no assumptions about possible locations for any new-build nuclear power station, 
although it is recognised that the site location may be relevant when considering 
some safety and security issues.
