Plans for a new nuclear power plant on Anglesey were granted by partially concerned planning inspectors about the impact of the project on the Welsh language, which is one of the examples of the bureaucratic obstacles he mentioned this week by a senior industry executive official.

the recommendation Against Wylfa on the Welsh island by the Planning Inspector – published in February 2021 – this week was raised by a number in the upper nuclear industry because they expressed their regret for the obstacles that projects must clarify to secure approval. “It is an example of the difficulty of planning,” said CEO.
