 HOPES the life of Wylfa nuclear power station could be extended by two years appeared doomed last night. Experts at the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority yesterday told MPs it is " not looking likely " a Government-commissioned study will find a way of keeping the plant open past 2010. Their comments will come as huge blow to neighbouring Anglesey Aluminium, which relies on cheap electricity from the plant. The closure of both Anglesey Aluminium and Wylfa will lead to more than 1,000 job losses, and devastate the island's economy. The NDA is due to publish results of a feasibility study, within weeks, on whether decommissioning can be delayed until 2012. But during a hearing of the Welsh Affairs select Committee, NDA engineering director Richard White said an extension would prove "very problematic". He added: "At the moment it is not looking likely that any overall business case will be generated." He explained one of the biggest stumbling blocks is the knock-on effect on plans to decommission the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing site in Cumbria. |
