Welsh Campaign against SMRs

Posted: 13th October 2025

Climate Camp Cymru supports Llynfi Valley protest against small modular

reactors – campaigners urge Pembrokeshire to stay alert. Environmental
activists from across Wales – including several from Pembrokeshire –
joined forces with Climate Camp Cymru this summer to support the No Nuclear
Llynfi campaign near Llangynwyd in the Llynfi Valley, South Wales. The
group is opposing plans by American company Last Energy to build four small
modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) on land within a mile of residential homes
and two schools. The company, a venture capital-backed start-up that has
never built a reactor before, is currently seeking UK planning approval.
Campaigners say it is deeply concerning that Last Energy is also suing the
US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, claiming its safety regulations are
“overburdensome” – while applying similar pressure in the UK to
reduce oversight and speed up development.
