Ministers have announced plans for the next generation of UK nuclear plants.
The government confirmed a list of eight sites it deems suitable for new power stations by 2025, all of which are adjacent to existing nuclear sites.
The sites are : Bradwell, Essex ; Hartlepool ; Heysham, Lancashire ; Hinkley Point, Somerset ; Oldbury, Gloucestershire ; Sellafield, Cumbria ; Sizewell, Suffolk ; and Wylfa, Anglesey.
The announcement comes three months after the Fukushima disaster in Japan. (…)
