Unions back nuclear for AI

Unions have said it’s right energy should play a big role in today’s AI strategy plan announced by the Prime Minister.

Mike Clancy, General Secretary of Prospect and TUC digital lead said: “The government is right to identify a potential synergy between AI and nuclear energy which can provide the reliable power needed for large data centres but to take advantage of this we need to end more than a decade of feet-dragging and kick-start the next generation of nuclear energy projects.

“The failure to properly back nuclear has led to a situation where the majority of our nuclear capacity is set to go offline in the coming years, urgent action is needed to preserve Britain’s status as a world-leader in nuclear skills and technology.

“This needs to start with a clear signal in the spending review to green-light Sizewell C and back both future large and small scale nuclear projects.”
