In 2012, only 9% strongly supported the technology and 29% supported its use for electricity generation. In the past 10 years, however, there has been a slow but positive shift in the perception of nuclear energy by the UK public. Both of these incidents were preventable, had international best practice and standards been observed. The perception of nuclear technology by both investors and the general public is largely based on well-known and highly publicised international events – most notably, the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 and the more recent 2011 accident in Fukushima. However, building confidence in technology and equipment will be key for the UK Government in delivering new nuclear power generation. In the Spring Budget, the Chancellor confirmed nuclear as “environmentally sustainable” removing an element of uncertainty which will enable the UK to plan and finance nuclear energy infrastructure in the long term.
