Potential Nuclear Power Station for Heysham

Heysham is considered by Government to be potentially suitable for a new nuclear power station.

The Government is consulting on its draft Nuclear National Policy Statement and list of sites, including Heysham, around the country that might be suitable for new nuclear power stations. 

They would like to hear your views.

The draft Nuclear National Policy Statement explains how sites are assessed, why we need new nuclear power and the Government's policy on managing radioactive waste safely. It will set the framework for planning decisions on new nuclear power stations.

A local exhibition giving information about the draft Nuclear National Policy Statement and the assessment of Heysham will be held at: Lancaster Town Hall from 26th - 28th November 2009. A public discussion will also be held on the morning of Saturday 28th November at the same location.

Please visit  nuclear events for further information on location and timings and to register for the public session. Alternatively if you wish to register for the public session by telephone please contact 0845 004 8841.
