Almost 1,000 jobs are set to be lost as Bradwell Power Station enters its next stage of decommissioning.

Some 930 agency workers, sub-contractors and Magnox on-site employees will face the axe at the end of next year as the nucleur power station prepares to enter its care and management phase in 2015.

According to a socio-economic action plan report, released yesterday, less than 10 people will be employed in this phase between 2015 and 2085, when the final site clearance begins.

Although 180 Magnox employees, including 95 people who live in the Maldon district, will be offered the chance to relocate to other Magnox or nucleur sites.
