Background
The Programme Management Board was set up by the nuclear industry and the UK government to try to prevent their plans for eight new nuclear stations from going off the rails.
The board was the brainchild of the Nuclear Industry Association (NIA), which represents nuclear companies in the UK. It brings the French firms, EDF Energy and Areva, the US giant, Westinghouse, and other companies together with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS). It also includes the Office for Nuclear Regulation, the government’s safety watchdog.
Minutes of its first meeting in November 2011, and related correspondence, have been released by the DECC under Freedom of Information laws.
