The boss of a Somerset nuclear power station says his staff still have long futures in the industry, despite Hinkley Point B’s life coming to an end.

A campaign group has encouraged anyone interested to comment on plans to build a new nuclear power station at Sizewell on the Suffolk coast before a deadline is reached at the end of September.

The cost of building the new nuclear power station at Hinkley is estimated to increase by between £1.9 billion and £2.9 billion.
