An executive leading the roll out of mini-nuclear plants in the UK has welcomed the appointment of an industry veteran tasked with helping to regenerate a North Wales nuclear site.
The Welsh Government wants to regenerate the Trawsfynydd site in Gwynedd as a potential location for small modular reactors(SMRs) and other ventures like a research reactor producing vital medical isotopes.
Economy Minister Vaughan Gething announced that Alan Raymant, chief operating officer for Horizon Nuclear Power between 2009 and 2016, had been appointed as the longer term chief executive for Cwmni Egino, which has been set up to lead the regeneration of the Trawsfynyd site.
