You'd be pleased (or not) to know that Japan (a subsidary of Hitachi) is building 3 or 4 nuclear reactors at Wylfa, and Oldbury around 2020.
While Toshiba is planning 3 at Sellafield.

Utilities and infrastructure should be in public/state ownership.
If a private company can make money out of it, I'm sure there's potential for the state to do it. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

The reason we're in this mess is because there has been no development in the civil nuclear industry in the UK for years.
What company is going to fund development of a plant when there is no demand in the UK for it for over 20 years, as such a lot of the skilled labour is now well in retirement.
For example, France has happily kept on going with nuclear power and as such EDF has a skill-base for it and uses that here. Granted, they're not perfect either.
As far as I'm aware, the only UK-led proposal at the moment is for the use of alternative small modular reactors dotted around the country. Rolls-Royce have put forward a proposal based upon years of experience of naval nuclear power which is of a similar ilk, however even that design originates from the Americans in a 1954 agreement which we took on and have developed since. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/03/19/rolls-royce-could-power-britains-nuclear-future-with-mini-reacto/ ____________________ 2009 Yamaha YBR125 -> 2000 SV650S -> 2005 Kawasaki ZX6R 636 |

Hopefully the government lets them give it a go. |
