New Nuclear Build for Copeland ?

A deal to purchase land at the Sellafield site has been hailed as an indication that there will be a new nuclear power plant in Copeland.

There is no official announcement yet as to which potential sites have been chosen for new nuclear build.

A new power plant would be very good news for the local economy. We need to continue to work to ensure that it actually happens, but I am advised that the prospects for new nuclear build at Sellafield, regardless of the result of the coming election, should be taken very seriously indeed.
