EDF Energy has insisted that the construction of its Hinkley Point C nuclear project remains "on track" after fresh delays to the French plant that is using the same pioneering nuclear reactor.
The European Pressurised Reactor was designed by EDF’s subsidiary Framatome. Two of the reactors will be installed at Hinkley Point C in Somerset and EDF plans to deploy two more at its proposed Sizewell C nuclear plant in Suffolk.
