Leaders hoping their bid to build the world's first nuclear fusion plant on the border between England and Wales have said it is "not the end of the road" for the site after the government selected Nottinghamshire for the plant instead.
Earlier this week, the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) picked a site between Retford and Gainsborough to host the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s pioneering prototype fusion power station.
The Western Gateway - a cross-border partnership aimed at promoting economic growth across the West Country and South Wales - had been proposing to build the £220m plant at Severn Edge in Gloucestershire. It was one of five sites previously under consideration by the government.
