British to expand Nuclear Power!

I think this is actually good news....nuclear power is going to become essential...
A major expansion of Britain's nuclear power sector that could create 100,000 new jobs has been heralded by the Government.

John Hutton, the Business Secretary, signalled that the next wave of nuclear plants will form a much larger part of Britain's energy mix in future, saying the country must "significantly expand" its nuclear sector.

Mr Hutton staked Britain's future on nuclear power as Gordon Brown prepared to sign a new atomic power deal with France.

The Prime Minister will tomorrow announce an agreement with France's Nicholas Sarkozy for the two countries to build new nuclear power stations and export the technology around the world.

The deal is aimed at giving Britain access to the skilled French nuclear engineers and technicians that will be needed to implement Government plans for a new generation of nuclear power plants in the UK.

Building those new power stations will be a huge task that will offer significant opportunities to industry, Mr Hutton said, likening the possible benefits to those delivered by the discovery of North Sea Oil in the 1970s.
