The future of a multi-billion-pound nuclear power development in West Cumbrian has been thrown into doubt by the company behind the plans.
It had been hoped Moorside would bring more than 20,000 jobs to the region.
The development of a new nuclear power plant in west Cumbria, which could bring 21,000 jobs to the region, has been thrown into doubt.
Toshiba has a 60 percent stake in NuGen, the company behind the planned Moorside development.
But last week, the Japanese company is reported to have said it's reviewing all nuclear power projects outside Japan, including Moorside.
Last month, the company said it might have to write off several billion dollars because of the purchase of CB&I Stone & Webster by Westinghouse, Toshiba's US subsidiary.
Cumbrian MP John Woodcock is to seek an urgent statement in Parliament on Wednesday following the news, which he's described as "alarming".
