Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 January 2025

Debate

Artificial Intelligence Opportunities Action Plan

Contribution

I reiterate that SMRs are part of the solution to this: they have lower core power and lower pressure, use a large fraction of coolant, and have safety advantages over traditional approaches. That will be made clear. That is why the AI energy council is so important, to make sure that this is properly thought-through and that we get these in the right place to support the data centres that are required.
