Focus on nuclear plant's future

It will take over a century and cost £850m, now the public is being asked what it thinks of clean-up plans for Anglesey's nuclear plant.

The Wylfa power station is due to halt electricity production in 2010, after nearly 40 years in operation.

It has taken three years for specialists to pull together detailed plans for decommissioning the site.

As well as considering how to handle radioactive waste at the site, the environmental study being considered also looks at the cultural and archaeological impacts of decommissioning the station.

It will be 100 years before the main reactor building is ready for removal
