Trawsfynnydd for UK small modular reactor?

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and Cwmni Egino have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to support their development of a new small scale nuclear project in North Wales.

The MoU enables the sharing of information and expertise around the characteristics of the land at Trawsfynydd, to align the decommissioning plans and site activities with the new nuclear project, stakeholder engagement and developing socio-economic plans.

Cwmni Egino is the development company established by Welsh Government in 2021 to drive future development at the Trawsfynydd site and to promote regional economic and social regeneration.

The site at Trawsfynydd is home to a Magnox station which is being decommissioned by Magnox Ltd, a subsidiary of the NDA. The NDA also owns land outside the Magnox site boundary which could be used for a new nuclear development.
