China wants hands-on role in UK nuclear plants

摘要

The Chinese nuclear developer part-funding Hinkley Point C has said it wants to be heavily involved in the construction of new nuclear plants in the UK. Speaking to MPs on the energy select committee, Zhu Minhong, general director of UK nuclear projects at China General Nuclear (CGN), said that in addition to its investment in EDF's Somerset plant his firm wants to bring its "expertise and experience" to Hinkley and further nuclear schemes in the UK. At the same committee session, EDF's UK chief executive Vincent de Rivaz was grilled by MPs on when the French client will make a final investment decision on Hinkley.
