GMB has responded to news of Sizewell C triggering its Development Consent Order
The move opens the path for formal construction of the new 3.2GW nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast.
Charlotte Childs, GMB National Officer, said:
“Today’s announcement is long overdue, but is great news for both nuclear workers and energy workers in the UK.
“We all know there can be no net zero without new nuclear - which provides reliable, carbon free power.
“It’s time to stop dithering and get spades in the ground so we can meet our environmental responsibilities whilst still keeping the lights on.
