UK installs first new reactor vessel in 30 years at Hinkley Point C, aiming to power 6 million homes.
Engineers have successfully installed a 500-tonne reactor pressure vessel at Hinkley Point C, the UK's newest nuclear power station in Somerset. This marks the first reactor installation in over 30 years, since Sizewell B in 1991. Once fully operational, the two reactors will provide 7% of Britain's electricity, enough to power 6 million homes. This milestone is a significant step towards reducing the UK's carbon emissions and bolstering energy security.
