As per the World Nuclear Association, most of the current fleet of reactors in the UK will retire by 2028. Construction of the first of a new generation of plants has begun. Moreover, the nation has not constructed any nuclear reactors since the Fukushima accident and is determined to switch to renewable energy.

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority regulates the nuclear industry in the UK. The authority under the Energy Act 2008 requires plant operators to submit a Funded Decommissioning Program (FDP) before commencing construction of nuclear plants.

The presence of such authorities and government inclination toward nuclear power plant decommissioning is likely to positively influence market growth. Besides, key market players, such as Babcock International Group PLC and Magnox Ltd, have fostered market growth over the forecast period with extensive research and development in the country.
