Live Q&A: Lord Hunt on nuclear power

What does a new generation of nuclear reactors mean for Britain? That's the question we'll be asking on Thursday 21 January when Lord Philip Hunt , minister of state at the Department for Energy and Climate Change, joins us from 12-1pm to answer your questions on new nuclear power. Writing in the Guardian last October , Hunt said: "A nuclear renaissance in the UK presents a tremendous opportunity. It has the potential to supply us with substantial amounts of home-grown, low-carbon, reliable and relatively cheap energy." But how just how much new nuclear power does the UK need, where should the reactors be built, and how should we deal with problems of waste and public subsidy ? Ten sites have been chosen for new reactors: Sizewell, Suffolk; Hartlepool, Cleveland; Heysham, Lancashire; Sellafield, Cumbria; Braystones, Cumbria; Kirksanton, Cumbria; Wylfa Peninsula, Anglesey; Oldbury, Gloucestershire; Hinkley Point, Somerset, and Bradwell, Essex. And the government wants to hear what you think about those sites - it's undertaking a consultation on nuclear sites that closes on 22 February. Whatever you want to ask about nuclear power in the UK, just post your question below and Hunt will be here between 12 and 1pm on 21 January to answer as many of your questions as possible. Please note anything not about nuclear power in the UK will be marked as off-topic.
