Nuclear boss concerned at lack of skilled workers

摘要

The boss of one of Britain's three nuclear power developers has said the firm may need to import foreign engineers to build nuclear plants in the UK because of a lack of suitably qualified British staff, writes Vern Pitt. The UK is planning to build at least five nuclear power plants in the coming years - the first in decades - but speaking last week, Danny Roderick, president and chief executive of Westinghouse, which holds a 60% stake in the NuGen nuclear power development project in West Cumbria, said a lack of expertise was "a real problem".
