UK Energy Secretary Chris Huhne Tuesday recommended proposing no limits on nuclear generation in the country nor any plant closures, ahead of his presentation to parliament of the final report by the chief nuclear inspector into events at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident in March, the Department of Energy and Climate Change said in a statement.

Chief Nuclear Inspector Mike Weightman's interim report, published May 18, recommended 25 areas for review, including the layout of existing plants and emergency response arrangements. It did not propose limits on generation or closing plants.
