A bid to build a multi-million-pound nuclear fusion plant on the border of Wales and England has received more support from industry bosses in the South West.
The Western Gateway - a cross-border partnership aimed at promoting economic growth across the West Country and South Wales - is proposing to build the £220m plant at Severn Edge in Gloucestershire.
It is one of five under consideration by the government for the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority's (UKAEA) flagship STEP programme which is looking to prove the commercial viability of fusion energy. The idea is a British nuclear fusion plant would be able to help the UK meet its future energy needs.
