Nuclear Power in Britain: A series of successful failures

Nuclear Power in Britain: A series of successful failures

Britain’s efforts to promote nuclear power represent successful failures. A successful failure is a policy program that achieves some progress or delivers short-term success but ultimately fails to deliver upon its original objectives. Britain’s various nuclear power programs did deliver some limite...

A successful failure is a policy program that achieves some progress or delivers short-term success but ultimately fails to deliver upon its original objectives. Britain’s various nuclear power programs did deliver some limited success but often fell short of key objectives overall and incurred massive cost overruns. It is shown that government interventions often prevented outright failure, but these interventions were made necessary due to the unintended consequences of prior decisions. It is concluded that government creates the conditions that increase the risk of policy failure but through intervention, government can forestall outright failure to create a successful failure.
