<p>The Government remains firmly committed to its efforts to ensure that the conditions are right for investment in new nuclear power in the UK. Safety is our number one priority.</p><p>Government, industry and the nuclear regulators will continue to learn all possible lessons from the events at Fukushima. Dr Mike Weightman's 2011 report on the implications of the events in Japan and the lessons to be learned for the UK nuclear industry confirmed that the UK's current safety regime is working and reassured us that nuclear can be part of the future energy mix as it is today. We must, however, continue to improve where we can, not just with operating power stations and new sites but by dealing with our nuclear legacy in a robust and effective manner, and continue to work with our international partners to push forward work on enhancing nuclear safety standards.</p>
