Sheffield MP Clive Betts urges the University of Sheffield to reconsider its plans for the site.
Proposed job cuts at a nuclear research centre run by the University of Sheffield could mean the site will close, an MP has warned.
The university said it had started a 90-day consultation period to look at proposals and explore future options.However, the university said core manufacturing research and development activities would remain. He said he would ask Energy Secretary Ed Miliband "to intervene and assist as much public funding has been spent on the centre".
"But we also know nuclear has got to be there as the baseload for any electricity system that is less carbon intensive."Professor Koen Lamberts, Vice-Chancellor at the University of Sheffield, said the Nuclear AMRC's structure needed to be changed so priorities around clean energy research and innovation could be delivered.
