Michael_N 36 #1 Posted December 3, 2009 Not sure if any of you saw Look North tonight, but there was a good news story about the new Nuclear Centre that is to be based at the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham. It will also be the equivalent of pumping £1 billion of investment and jobs for the Rotherham and wider S. Yorkshire enconomy per year, for 60 years according to the statistics, presented on Look North. You can watch the report online here, until tomorrow at 2pm.

upinwath 10 #4 Posted December 4, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/uk_news/england/south_yorkshire/8392967.stm A research centre and factory to support the UK's civil nuclear industry are to be based in South Yorkshire, the government has announced. The Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (NAMRC) will be based in Catcliffe, Lord Mandelson said. Rolls-Royce's factory, which will assemble parts for the UK's 10 new nuclear power stations, will also be based somewhere in the county. I'm waiting for the hysterical reactions from posters so I thought I would start the thread, get some popcorn and sit back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Longcol 594 #9 Posted December 4, 2009 a more serious question is whether or not they are going to build it on the flood plain No it isn't - about on a parallel with Morrisons off the Parkway. BTW you don't have to be on a flood plain to be flooded. Catcliffe isn't on a flood plain anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Tony 10 #12 Posted December 4, 2009 Just thought I'd get a toe hold first before an irrational suburban fear takes hold of the city now that the N word has been used in relation to the Sheffield University / Rolls Royce engineering facility to research nuclear energy projects just off the Parkway. Are you worried about having nuclear research in Sheffield? Do you know what it is and what it does? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
