Nuclear fusion plant to be built at West Burton A power station

Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg announced the government's choice in a speech at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham.

"The plant will be the first of its kind, built by 2040 and capable of putting energy on the grid, and in doing so will prove the commercial viability of fusion energy to the world."Fusion - the process going on inside the sun - creates energy by forcing atoms together.Fusion is viewed as safe and clean but has so far proved difficult to harness.

"We're talking billions in investment, we're talking about something that is really globally significant coming to north Nottinghamshire, and what that will do for jobs, investment, really it blows everything else out of the water," he told the BBC.
