Within the new national policy statement there is still a restriction, so that even small modular reactors—even advanced nuclear reactors, generation 4-type reactors—can be sited only in semi-rural or rural areas. We still have criteria around that. I am thinking about Eton. The playing fields are extensive and there is a lot of green land around, so I am not quite sure, but I suspect that it is hedged in by things to do with castles and lots of people as well. The point is that we see huge potential for small modular reactors. The point is well taken and the new planning statement will encourage that.
