UK unveils plans for 'biggest nuclear power expansion in 70 years' to enhance energy independence and meet carbon emission targets, aiming to quadruple UK nuclear power by 2050. The plans include exploring the construction of a major new power station, GBP300 million investment for producing advanced uranium fuel, and 'smarter regulation' to support the expansion. The government aims to achieve net zero by 2050 and reduce electricity bills, support thousands of jobs, and improve UK energy security.
