>Just last month, the UK Office for Nuclear Regulation approved the design for a new nuclear power plant to be built in Bradwell, Essex<

The nuclear reactor design is from China General Nuclear (CGN), the Hualong Pressurised Water Reactor, which looks like it will have a big export market. So, pivot away from Russia hydrocarbons, for Chinese nuclear.
