Plans for new Wylfa nuclear power station go on show to the public
Exhibitions and public meetings are to be staged across North Wales as a consultation process into a proposed nuclear power station on Anglesey gets underway.
The consultation is the first major step in the planning process for the development of Horizon Nuclear Power’s proposed new plant at Wylfa.
The process will last 10 weeks and cover all aspects of Horizon’s proposals.

Anglesey 'energy island' jobs
A north Wales college is set to get a £20m investment to make sure the area is ready to meet the demands of a new nuclear power station on Anglesey.
The new Wylfa Newydd nuclear plant will need 8,500 construction workers and a 1,000 station staff when built.
The Anglesey Energy Island strategy aims to bring in 2,500 new jobs and £2.3bn of investment over 15 years.
It is hoped local people will make up at least 20% of the construction workforce.
"This is going to be a massive project - the equivalent of the London 2012 Olympic village - and this could cause a big displacement from across local employers."

Wylfa will keep generating power on Anglesey until December 2015

The nuclear plant on Anglesey will continue generating power for more than a year, it has been revealed.
Operators Magnox had been waiting to learn whether an extension to the life of Wylfa’s Reactor 1 would be granted.
The reactor could have closed at the end of September, but the Office for Nuclear Regulation confirmed on Tuesday that generation will continue until December 2015.
A consultation for the development of Horizon Nuclear Power’s proposed new plant at Wylfa has also been launched this week.
