The second nuclear reactor destined for the Hinkley Point C power station has successfully arrived, marking a significant milestone in the development of the project. After an extensive journey from France, the massive reactor was transported to Bristol before making its final leg to the site near Bridgwater in Somerset.
This crucial delivery advances the construction of the UK’s latest nuclear power facility, set to provide low-carbon electricity for decades. The complex logistics involved in moving such a colossal component underscore the scale and ambition of the Hinkley Point C project, which aims to bolster the country’s energy infrastructure and capacity.
As construction proceeds, the arrival of this second reactor brings the project closer to its goal of contributing a substantial boost to clean energy generation across the United Kingdom.
