In responding to a consultation under the previous government, on the potential siting of nuclear fusion facilities , the IOA has broadly agreed with proposals. Our response states that the current Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN-1) has to date proved effective in controlling noise and vibration impacts from other energy projects, and is well suited to fusion as well.
