England is building a 24 billion dollar nuclear power plant.
In order to reduce dependence on Russian energy, the British government plans to establish a nuclear power plant in the east of this country with a huge budget.
The British government on Wednesday approved the construction of a new 20 billion pound ($24 billion) nuclear power plant in Suffolk in eastern England.
According to “Anatolia” news agency, the “Sizol” power plant will be built by a French company owned by the French government, and as claimed, this nuclear facility can supply electricity to 6 million households.
The British government repeatedly postponed the decision on the construction of this facility, but finally approved it.
A British official of the project said that the construction of this nuclear facility will be good for the region and will create thousands of opportunities for local people and businesses, and strengthen the region’s biodiversity.
Earlier, Kwasi Kwarteng, the British Minister of Commerce, said that as part of the country’s policies to develop the supply of domestic energy carriers in England affected by the consequences of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the country wants to build about 7 nuclear power plants.
“Conditions are in place to build 6 to 7 nuclear power plants in the UK by 2050,” Quarteng said.
The British government is trying to establish new nuclear power plants in view of the continuation of Russia’s war with Ukraine in order to reduce its dependence on Russian energy sources.
In this regard, British Foreign Minister Liz Truss recently demanded to stop importing energy, including oil and gas, from Russia. “The war in Ukraine is our war and everyone’s war,” Terrass said. “We are determined to work with our allies on the new Marshall Plan to support Ukraine.”
Considering the effectiveness of global sanctions against Russia, he claimed: “Sanctions made Russia unable to pay its debts. “We should also sanction the export of oil and gas from Russia.”
These statements were made while due to the cold season ahead, there is a definite fear or reduction in the flow of natural gas exports from Russia to the European continent.
The head of the European Commission recently said that the EU should make emergency plans to prepare for a complete cutoff of Russian gas.
