Plans to position North Wales as a key location for a new generation of smaller nuclear power stations have taken a step forward.
Development company Cwmni Egino, which was set up by the Welsh Government to develop the former Trawsfynydd nuclear power plant site, has completed a first phase of work confirming the viability of deploying small modular reactors (SMRs).
The UK Government said that contracts will be awarded via a competitive tendering process to build out a network of SMRs, which alongside renewables, will play a role in reaching net zero targets of the UK and Welsh governments, as well as strengthening energy security.
