Request for a Senedd Debate on Sub‑Surface Protection for Modular Nuclear Reactor Sites

I ask the Senedd to consider requiring that any MNR installations in Wales be constructed within reinforced, partially or fully sub‑surface protective structures. Such an approach would increase national resilience, protect critical infrastructure, safeguard civilian populations, strengthen long‑term energy stability, and align with best‑practice strategic risk planning.

This proposal is not based on alarmism but on prudent, responsible planning. Wales has an opportunity to lead the UK in adopting a forward‑looking, civilian‑centred approach to nuclear‑energy resilience — one that protects communities, strengthens national security, and ensures that our energy infrastructure remains robust in any future scenario.

This would at least increase security for all present and future generations of Wales and the U.K.
