Housing plans for Hinkley Point C workers are scrapped The proposals were developed to ease pressure on the local housing market.

#BBC quoting a #HinkleyC resident: "We should have zero unemployment but there's an awful lot [of workers] coming in from outside. At peak times, it's gridlocked. One night we were driving and I counted 25 coaches, that's what bugs me."

Plans for new Ipswich bus depot for Sizewell C workers Sizewell C says it will operate 24 hours a day.

#SizewellC buses are already a pretty common sight on local roads (often with barely anyone on board) and look set to substantially increase. At #HinkleyC it is rare for five minutes to pass without seeing one - or several - often similarly empty

Flamanville EPR Reactor Reaches 100% Nuclear Power After 12-year Delay - Energynews.pro Flamanville 3 reaches full nuclear power, marking a major industrial advance despite 12-year delay and significant cost overruns.

It only took #Flamanville3 #EPR more than a year to reach full power, and is still testing... and 12 years late overall! #HinkleyC #SizewellC #NuclearTurkey

'Risk of serious injury' at nuclear plant Hinkley Point C There are inadequate fire safety systems at one of the biggest construction projects in Europe.

"Risk of serious injury" at #HinkleyC after regulators identified "inadequate fire controls". @The_ONR said contractor Bylor JV "did not meet the standards we require, particularly given the scale and complexity of ongoing construction work.

Sizewell C will cost more than Hinkley: Is it worth it? Inflation and cost overruns are likely to push the price of Sizewell C above the £46 billion estimated for nuclear plant Hinkley Point C.

#SizewellC will cost more than #HinkleyC: Is it worth it?

Breakingviews - UK’s nuclear push may hand investors a cushy deal Brookfield may take a 25% stake in a $54 bln new power plant, the FT says. Private investors could supercharge Britain’s nuclear ambitions, but will need juicy returns and protection against slow construction and cost overruns. UK energy security will come at a high price.

"the RAB model could easily end up becoming pretty expensive. @NAOorguk's modelling suggests the WACC of a hypothetical #nuclear project could rise to 9% if expenses came over budget by 75%-100%. As #HinkleyC shows, that’s quite plausible"
