Green light to build nuclear power station that promises 8,000 jobs

Work to begin building a new nuclear power station that will bring 8,000 new jobs has been approved, the UK government has announced.

Ministers have chosen Wylfa on Anglesey as the site after signing a £2.5bn partnership with Rolls-Royce to build it last year.

The company claimed that the project will create 3,000 jobs local to the Wylfa site and an additional 5,000 jobs nationally.
