New nuclear at Wylfa?

New nuclear is the most reliable, clean, low carbon and consistent energy generating technology currently available and Wylfa is a key UK site with potential for both large and small reactors which would generate more than 9,000 construction jobs and 900 steady-state careers. 

I am working with prospective developers, Bangor University and Grŵp Llandrillo Menai to ensure our young people are primed and ready to take advantage of the new job opportunities that new nuclear on Anglesey will bring. New nuclear will provide a future for our children and boost our local economy - keeping our communities, language and culture alive.
