Two more sites have been added to the shortlisted locations for Rolls-Royce's forthcoming £200m nuclear reactor factories.
The Teesworks freeport site at Redcar and Shotton on Deeside join eight other potential locations across the UK which could host the firm's first factory that will make components for its small modular reactor (SMR) power station. It means Rolls-Royce representatives will visit both sites in the coming weeks to decide which will host the 200 jobs, 23,000 sqm plant.
Previously shortlisted sites in the North East include Sunderland's International Advanced Manufacturing Park and Forest Park in Newton Aycliffe. The Gateway site on Deeside is also in the running.
