British Energy - nuclear powder in the private sector

摘要

In may 1995, the UK Government announced that it would privatize the more modern nuclear stations dur- ing the course of 1996. The Government's objective was to introduce more competition into the UK elec- tricity market and allow market forces to determine the future of the nuclear industry with the minimum of regulation. The first step to achieving this as to restructure the nuclear generation industry in prepara- tion for the sale. Nuclear Electric plc's five Magnox stations were Grouped with Scottish Nuclear's Magno station, Hunterston A, to form Magnox Electric which remains Within Government ownership.
