UK opens world nuclear showroom

(Eco Business, 25 Oct 2016) Nuclear power companies from across the world are jumping at the chance to build their new reactors in the UK.

The UK has laid out a welcome mat for any nuclear operators in the world who want to showcase their latest designs in Britain − the one exception being the Russian state company Rosatom .

With many nuclear companies no longer able to build new stations in their own countries – France and Japan, for example – because of public and political opposition, the UK government is inviting them to construct their newest models in England and Wales.

So the French company EDF , Japan’s Hitachi , the US-based Westinghouse , and the state-owned China Nuclear Power Corporation are all anxious to find somewhere that will allow them a chance to show off what they’ve come up with.
