South Yorkshire is set for a £1.5bn boost, with plans announced for a major factory making components for nuclear reactors here. The American nuclear power firm Holtec has announced the plans, after selecting South Yorkshire ahead of other areas. The company has looked at a number of possible sites for the new factory but its location has not yet been revealed. It would create parts for what are known as Small Modular Reactors (SMR).
