But the project is in trouble. NuGen\u2019s owner Toshiba wants out while the Korean company that had been poised to replace Toshiba is having second thoughts. Currently, NuGen is shedding two-thirds of its workforce. In this podcast, NuGen\u2019s Chief Executive Tom Samson sets out his strategy to save the Moorside project against a tight deadline. He explains why Kepco of Korea might still invest and why the Government\u2019s proposed \u2018regulated asset base\u2019 funding model \u2013 which has been blamed for deterring Kepco \u2013 could yet be Moorside\u2019s salvation. He makes a compelling case for a rolling programme of nuclear new build and sets out the lasting benefits that Moorside would deliver for Cumbria.
