U.K. Nuclear Update

From the BBC:

Councillors on Anglesey have supported the principle of building a second nuclear power station on the island.

Wylfa, the island's existing nuclear power station, is due to close in 2010.

A recent report has warned that when it shuts, the nearby Anglesey Aluminium plant will also close, with the combined loss of 1500 jobs.

The council voted to back the idea of a new station on the site near Cemaes, if the UK Government decide to build a new generation of nuclear power stations.
