enters Phase III. Facing these circumstances, nuclear power surfaces as an
attractive option in carbon-constrained Europe, and it is expected that
nuclear energy will be back on the agenda for many countries which have been
quite reluctant to this generating option.
LONDON - Unite members who worked for an Ipswich firm have secured a legal victory
