While the nation debates the wisdom of restarting its nuclear power plants, the energy source remains central to some nations' investments for tomorrow. The process to construct a new two-reactor facility in Wales has been going as planned, the British province's economy minister said.
"There's a confidence that the plant will be delivered, that it will work well, and that it will do good for the local community in terms of employment opportunities," said Edwina Hart, economy minister of the National Assembly for Wales. She was speaking to The Japan Times last week during a working visit to Japan.
Horizon Nuclear Power, which is wholly owned by Hitachi Ltd., plans to build two advanced boiling water reactors on Anglesey Island.
