.@hinkleypointc is leading the way for the new generation of nuclear.

Delays and increases in costs generate interest.

We are proud that the South West is a pioneering region for the industry.

Here's why 👇 🧵

[Nuclear South West @NuclearSW]

💡 The design and infrastructure of @hinkleypointc can be used as a blueprint for new nuclear projects to come, as part of the Civil nuclear: Roadmap to 2050

We look forward to a year of progress, with the South West nuclear infrastructure and skills to support and deliver.

The roadmap is being formed in earnest, inc:

💡A new power station as big as @hinkleypointc & @sizewellc
💡Launching high-tech nuclear fuel - with £300m investment into UK production.
💡Smarter regulation to quadruple UK nuclear power to 24GW by 2050.
