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. While technologies differ, potential noise sources from energy generation - like turbines, pumps, compressors, cooling systems and transformers are similar. The consultation covers England and Wales - see full response.
