Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Based on the liability cashflows used in the Annual Funding Review, the expected outflows to cover the decommissioning liabilities over the next three years amount to c.£2.8bn. Nuclear Liabilities Fund Limited is well placed to meet these costs over the next three years as it has considerable cash resources available to it. The UK Government will be responsible for meeting these costs and liabilities to the extent that the fund does not have sufficient assets available to it. The directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the annual report and accounts on a going concern basis.”

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
