Reports on the likely impact on the construction industry if the decision is taken to build a new generation of nuclear power stations. There are concerns that any new build programme might strain capacity in the industry, which is already suffering from a skills shortage. The Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) is recommending that a range of measures be adopted to avoid the cost and time overruns which dogged the construction of the previous generation of nuclear plants. A separate article "Out with the old" looks at the opportunities for the industry in the decommissioning of existing plants.
