Shared Practice news

A future for civil nuclear power?
Shared Practice has recently completed a two year project to evaluate the Government's major consultation exercise on the future of civil nuclear power in the UK. The consultation involved members of the public, stakeholders and other interested parties in an online and written consultation as well as numerous engagement events and meetings across the UK.
Our report presents the findings from the evaluation of the consultation, drawing significantly on feedback from many of those involved in the exercise. The report identifies challenging lessons for the future from a rigorous review of the difficulties as well as the achievements of this consultation.
