Nuclear power developers are refreshing plans for new reactors in the U.K. after speculation that the government could be willing to support building more plants than the industry had been expecting. A little-noticed paper issued by the Treasury on Nov. 25 said it is important that the U.K. can "maintain options by pursuing additional large-scale nuclear projects," assuming they can be done in a cost-effective way. That wording, with a notable plural on the word "projects," went beyond a recommendation made two years ago that Britain should build only one more major atomic facility.
