npower, RWE and NDA - Magnox reactor to cease in 2010.
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority has the responsibility for decommissioning Britain's Magnox reactors, among other sites, and at least some of these - particularly Wylfa in Anglesey - could be used.
They would be the lead partner in a consortium interested in a package for Wylfa that would include power generation, decommissioning of the existing Magnox reactor and disposal of waste as well as the new nuclear build project," said Mr Owen.
