Q : It ’ s an exciting time for the UK civil nuclear sector , how will this benefit UK-plc ? A : A major nuclear new build programme will lead to both industrial and employment benefits . Not only in the supply chain as I ’ ve already mentioned , but also through manufacturing and construction .
The programme will give the economy a major boost with the think tank IPPR suggesting new nuclear could boost the economy by £ 5 billion . Once the projects get underway each one is expected to create around 25,000 new jobs .
Through our regeneration project we ’ re talking to young people working in the nuclear industry .
We want to speak to people faced with the challenge of where to take their careers and give them a career path they may not have considered .
