MP David Mowat wants to see more people in Warrington working in the nuclear industry.
The Warrington South MP was speaking following a hugely successful Nuclear UK conference in the town, which attracted industry leaders from all over the country.
Mr Mowat welcome the nuclear workers at the Park Royal Hotel, Stretton.
The conference also saw the second annual Women in Nuclear summit which celebrates the role that women play within the industry as well as challenging perceptions to encourage more young women to take up nuclear jobs.
Mr Mowat said: “I’m delighted that the nuclear industry has chosen Warrington to host this important event.
“It was engineers working in Warrington who designed the UK’s first reactor in the 1950s and the town has had a strong bond with the industry ever since.
“Officially 3,500 jobs are based in Warrington, but if we add on the people who live here but work in other nuclear-related establishments at Daresbury or in Knutsford, around 5,000 jobs in the borough depend on the industry.
“But I want to see that figure increase to bring high-skill, high-value vacancies to Warrington.”
