Part 14: Civil Nuclear Sector Chapter 4: Great British Nuclear Section 319: Great British Nuclear’s objects
Section 319 sets out GBN’s role as a delivery vehicle for Government policy for new nuclear projects. It sets its objects as a company as undertaking activities that ‘facilitate the design, construction, commissioning and operation of nuclear energy generation projects for the purpose of furthering HM Government’s policies.’
	This will enable GBN to have an evolving and enduring role within the civil nuclear sector. GBN will act as an expert-led delivery body with the requisite skills and knowledge to deliver on the policy set by HM Government. It is anticipated that GBN will carry out a variety of functions including, but not limited to, de-risking the early stages in the development of nuclear projects by deploying co-funding from the Government to support the development of selected technologies, ensuring the right financing and site arrangements are in place, amongst a range of other functions.
