NRI Annual Review 2025 - Flipbook - Page 16
Four principles for the UK from Dr. Tim Stone CBE,
Chairman of NRI
1
Integrated Project
Delivery (IPD) Model
The UK can adopt the IPD model
to enhance collaboration across
stakeholders, ensuring alignment
of objectives and efficient decisionmaking. This approach minimises
duplication and fosters a nonadversarial environment, crucial for
managing complex nuclear projects.
2
First Mover
Advantage
Embracing the role of a first mover in
SMR technology can position the UK
as a leader in clean energy innovation.
This involves influencing design
processes and leveraging economic
benefits, such as job creation and
supply chain development.
3
Risk Management
and Lessons Learned
Drawing on OPG’s experience, the
UK should focus on robust risk
management strategies and apply
lessons from past projects to improve
efficiency and reduce costs in future
SMR deployments.
4
Regulatory
Collaboration
The UK can benefit from fostering
collaboration between international
regulators to streamline licensing
processes and facilitate the deployment
of SMRs across multiple jurisdictions.
By learning from OPG’s
collaborative approach,
the UK can enhance
its SMR construction
efforts, contributing
to a sustainable and
secure energy future.
