Fantastic to meet with Matt Tudor, the Director for Strategy and Partnership at the National College for Nuclear in Somerset.

There are currently 300 apprentices studying at the college gaining vital skills to forge a career working in nuclear power stations, submarines and other sectors.

Good quality local jobs are important for our communities, our Welsh culture and to keep the Welsh Language alive.

I determined to do everything I can to bring new nuclear to Wylfa.

New nuclear at Wylfa?

New nuclear is the most reliable, clean, low carbon and consistent energy generating technology currently available and Wylfa is a key UK site with potential for both large and small reactors which would generate more than 9,000 construction jobs and 900 steady-state careers.  I am working wit
