Nuclear to bring jobs and growth boost

The nuclear industry will play a major role in securing the nation’s energy supplies and driving economic growth, Energy Minister John Hayes and Business and Enterprise Minister Michael Fallon said yesterday as they published the Government’s Nuclear Supply Chain Action Plan.

The comments come as a campaign is launched to fill around 500 skilled jobs at the Sellafield nuclear site in West Cumbria. The roles will include operations and maintenance staff, engineers, project managers and back-office functions. They will be filled by a mixture of apprentices, graduates, and trainees and ex-military personnel will be specifically targeted in the recruitment process.
