The overall pipeline in Western Europe is skewed towards projects in the earlier stages, with those in the pre-planning and planning stage accounting for 62% of projects, totalling $253.4bn in value. Assuming all projects move ahead as planned, spending will peak in 2026 at $96.3bn, with $51.9bn expected spending for 2025 in Western Europe. The UK is the largest country in the Western Europe region, accounting for 22.8% of the regions pipeline, by value, at $92.9bn. France and Germany follow, with 15.8% and 12.3% of the region’s total project pipeline at $64.5bn and $50bn, respectively. The largest project in the pipeline is the $15bn Sellafield Plutonium Recycling Plant project, which is in the planning stage and involves the construction of a plutonium recycling plant in Cumbria, England. The project also includes the construction of a new MOX fabrication facility, plutonium storage facilities, a substation, a waste disposal facility and installation of reactor coolant pumps.
