BRITAIN'S NUCLEAR: CHEAPER
NUCLEAR ENGINEERING - 3 September 2020 - The UK Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) has launched a new report, in which a cross-industry team, working as part of the government-backed Nuclear Sector Deal, set out the key factors to reduce risk and bring down costs by 30% by 2030.
These factors include rigorous pre-construction planning, with simplicity of design and construction methodology, repeating designs across multiple stations, and building up and transferring a skilled and experienced workforce to new projects, NIA said.

HYDROGEN ECONOMY & CCS
The gist of the technical case for CCS in a hydrogen economy is that, so long as fossil fuels are available and deliver a high energy return on energy invested (EROEI), it is inherently cheaper and more efficient to produce hydrogen from fossil fuels by reforming, rather than by electrolysis of water.
