Druridge Bay ruled out as site for nuclear plant
A huge expansion of nuclear power has been signalled by the Government as it named 10 sites, including one on Teesside and three in Cumbria, where new power stations could be built.
Three other potential candidates, including Druridge Bay in Northumberland, were excluded due to what were described as "serious impediments".
The first new plant is set to be operational by 2018 and, by 2025, nuclear electricity generation could amount to around 40% of new energy provision.
