The UK government has earmarked eight sites across the country as suitable locations for new nuclear power stations.
The announcement came as the government published its finalised Energy National Policy Statements (NPSs) for debate in parliament.
The Energy NPSs provide a framework for decision making and outline the need for a drive on investment in new energy sources, including 33GW of new renewable energy capacity.
The government hopes to have nuclear facilities up and running at the eight locations by 2025.
