Read MoreA site in West Cumbria will be assessed along with 14 others to see if it is suitable to be home to a new nuclear power station.
Moorside near Sellafield is in the running to house the UK's first prototype nuclear fusion power plant, capable of generating hundreds of megawatts of net electrical energy.
A final shortlist will be produced in the autumn, and the Business Secretary will make a final decision on the site by the end of 2022.
Cumbria County Council leader Stewart Young said: “If our bid is successful at this next stage, it will bring huge investment to Cumbria and put us on a world stage in demonstrating how we can generate clean energy from nuclear.”
