I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 14 July 2023 to Question 192704, which provided information on the annual number of outages and non-operational days at UK nuclear power stations from 2010 to June 2023. Information on the classification of the outages is not held by the Department as outage periods are often a mixture of planned and unplanned activity.
