Thorp due to close in 2016 (i think). This is the date to which their current contracts last. There was a statement last week announcing that they would not be seeking any new contracts and the facility would close.

So what then for the 10,00 or so who work there?

there are around 600 who work there, Thorp is only a part of the Sellafield complex. They are talking about no compulsory job losses with jobs being "found" for those who want one.

I start a new job down there myself tomorrow. After spending a fortune going up and down the country for interviews since graduating, I end up getting a job on my doorstep

It is a sory state at the moment. I think up here the government should look at getting these new build reactors kicked started asap and get jobs created that way.
