An American company with no experience as a nuclear power generator has been chosen by the government to take over several Magnox atomic plants from BNFL.
The sale of the management contracts for the plants to EnergySolutions coincides with soaring wages in the nuclear industry with workers at BNFL's Sellafield plant being offered a 4.85% pay increase - more than double the 1.9% the Treasury is trying to impose on other civil servants.
