The government has released a list of 11 sites in England and Wales where new nuclear power stations could be built. The locations were nominated by companies interested in building the stations, and the government has given its initial approval to the sites. Nine of the locations have previously had nuclear reactors, and the other two are close to Sellafield in Cumbria. A month-long public consultation period now commences. The government wants the first reactors operational by 2018.
