In October 2013, the government announced that it had approved subsidized feed-in prices for the electricity production of Hinkley Point C, with the plant expected to be completed in 2023 and remain operational for 60 years.

The majority of the country would be put under strict radiological control. The development of Hinkley Point powers station in Somerset may have hit a snag this week but an explosion there would be truly bleak. Using a wind direction of 180 degrees, the fallout would spread from west to east.

The project completion cost at Hinkley Point C is now estimated at 21.5 billion to 22.5 billion pounds, EDF said Wednesday, citing challenging ground conditions among other extra expenses.

Marking a significant milestone in the revitalisation of our nuclear power industry, Hinkley Point C will make a major contribution to the UK's move to reduce carbon emissions. The electricity generated by its two reactors will offset 9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year over its 60-year lifespan.

While there are increasing risks of a delay, the firm says it is still on schedule for Hinkley to generate power in 2025. Meanwhile, it says the cost increases are due, primarily, to unforeseeably difficult ground conditions rather than design or build problems.

The reactor at Hinkley Point C Hinkley Point C will be the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK. The planned twin unit UK EPR is capable of generating 3,260MW of secure, low carbon electricity for 60 years.
