    LONDON: Britain is set to hand an expanded role to the nuclear industry and suggest more sites for new reactors as it unveils controversial guidelines for fast-tracking big energy projects through the planning process.

    Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, was due to reveal his blueprint for the future energy industry overnight in a series of ''national policy statements'' analysing 11 sites proposed by companies and several more potential locations.

    A senior official at the Department of Energy and Climate Change said that the extra sites would leave the door open for a greater use of nuclear power than currently envisaged.

    ''I'm comfortable that with the current options and the possible new ones we will have sufficient sites for our nuclear needs in 2025,'' he said.
