Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:37 pm on 12 July 2022.
Llywydd, the points that the Member raised are important. Of course, any possibilities for the future for the nuclear power industry will have to deal with the problems that arise with nuclear waste. But that isn't going to be a new problem for Trawsfynydd, is it? We've had a nuclear industry in Trawsfynydd for many years, so that problem has arisen previously—we're not creating a new problem through the possibilities that Cwmni Egino is discussing now in relation to that site. And there is more than one possibility that arises in the context of Trawsfynydd as well. I'm eager to see the plan to create the only medical isotope facility in the UK being established in Trawsfynydd. So, I'm not sure whether the Member is just against everything we're trying to do in Trawsfynydd in principle, or whether he is suggesting, as I see things, that the important thing is to think about the possibilities and about the people who live locally and to be careful as we move ahead with our ideas, but to work on the practical things that arise when you try to recreate possibilities on a site that has been used for nuclear power over many years already.
