The company has been given financial support by the UK Government to develop its design. It is estimated that the 470 MWe units will cost around £1.8 billion once in full production, compared with £22 billion for a full-sized nuclear power station such as the planned 3,300 MWe Sizewell C. Construction time and site size needed will also be lower.
