Government plans new nuclear plant in North Wales
The UK government has confirmed Wylfa on Anglesey as the site for Britain's first small modular nuclear reactors. The £2.5 billion project will be built by Great British Energy-Nuclear using Rolls-Royce SMR designs, creating 3,000 jobs at peak construction. Three reactors will initially be installed with potential for eight units, generating power for three million homes from the mid-2030s. The announcement represents the most significant industrial investment in North Wales for a generation, reviving nuclear operations at a site with heritage dating back to the 1960s.
