LucidCatalyst's Michael Drury Represents Terra Praxis at Seminar on Britain's Nuclear Sector
39 Essex Chambers London, UK May 11, 2026
Michael Drury, Managing Director of LucidCatalyst, represented Terra Praxis at a seminar hosted by 39 Essex Chambers' nuclear group examining the UK Government's response to the Nuclear Regulatory Task Force Report and what it means for the sector going forward.
Held at 39 Essex Chambers in London on the afternoon of May 11 and chaired by Stephen Tromans KC, the seminar—"Shaking Up Britain's Nuclear Sector: The Government's Response to the Nuclear Regulatory Task Force Report and Beyond"—brought together legal and industry specialists to unpack how the government's response to the Task Force's recommendations is likely to reshape licensing and regulation for new nuclear projects in the UK.
Michael joined barristers Richard Wald KC, Kelly Stricklin-Coutinho, Victoria Hutton, Katherine Barnes, Stephanie David, Ruth Keating, and Daniel Kozelko in discussing what a streamlined regulatory pathway could mean for the pace of nuclear deployment in Britain—a question central to LucidCatalyst's and Terra Praxis' work on clearing the licensing and delivery bottlenecks that have historically slowed nuclear new-build.
The seminar comes amid a broader push to modernize UK nuclear regulation and cut approval timelines for new and advanced reactor designs, an area where LucidCatalyst and Terra Praxis have published extensively, including on regulatory pathways for factory-built and modular reactors.
