Make firm nuclear power more central to clean electricity

Continue decarbonisation but give nuclear greater weight and reform planning and regulation.

Reconstruction: maintain low-carbon objectives while making firm nuclear more central alongside renewables and flexibility. Reform planning, regulation and delivery, extend viable stations and accelerate large and modular nuclear.

Caveat: this synthesis does not invent precise 2035 generation shares.
