Chinese ' takeaway' bid for new Wylfa nuke plant.

Is nuclear fission going to make a comeback and plug the gap in our energy needs? Will nuclear fusion ever become energetically viable?

The existing Wylfa plant, which has been producing energy since 1971, is set to continue generating electricity until the fuel runs out or September 2014, whichever comes first.
That sounds a bit vague. Don't they know when the fuel will run out?

Anyway, no new nuclear plant will be opened in the UK. I may have mentioned that before.
