A Unite conference entitled ‘Nuclear Energy - Our Present, Our Future’ at the Royal Society of Arts was opened by Derek Simpson, joint general secretary of Unite, the keynote speaker was the Ed Miliband MP, secretary of state for energy and climate change.
The largest nuclear construction project being undertaken right now is the Evaporator D project at Sellafield by Costain, a completely UK based company, and it is on budget and is being built safely and efficiently.
Unite assistant general secretary, Les Bayliss, said: "The construction industry stimulates economic activity even during the current recession. We need to maximise the benefits to the UK when we undertake this massive investment programme in energy projects. There are huge opportunities for job creation in the construction industry and Unite is determined to ensure that UK construction workers are ready to rise to the challenge."
Every £1 invested in construction generates £2.84 in total economic activity
92p of every £1 spent on construction is retained in the UK
