Britain's capabilities in terms of nuclear skills since it built a fleet of nuclear plant has changed significantly. The nuclear industry in Britain has downsized considerably to remain competitive with other forms of power generations, and as a result the skill base has been depleted. The educational scenario, where popularity of science, technology, and engineering has declined, is also not promising enough to supply the requisite skills to build and operate its next generation of nuclear reactors. However, the Nuclear Decommissioning Agency is talking about around £50 billion and work lasting into the next century.
