🇬🇧 Britain increases funding for new nuclear reactor at Sizewell C, a plan to power 6 million homes with 24/7 clean energy. The total has been raised to 5.5 billion pounds for the project.
These units get built for 80 years service or more. Together with Hinkley Point C and Sizewell B (a single unit PWR which has been delivering since 1996) the total would be around 60 TWh annually, or around 17% of the UK electricity consumption.
The UK has several legacy nuclear sites, which could be repurposed for these new safe units. I hope the new Labour government goes ahead and pushes forward.
