January 2024 project update

Viewers of Hinkley Point C’s latest video update will get to see inside the first reactor at the nuclear power station in Somerset. The behind the scenes tour from Delivery Director Simon Parsons shows the fit out of Unit 1 accelerating and teams getting ready to install the identical second reactor in Unit 2.

EDF has named Mark Hartley as the next Chief Executive Officer of the Hinkley Point C nuclear project from 1 July. His appointment comes as current CEO Stuart Crooks steps down from the role after 40 years of service in the nuclear industry.

Engineers at Hinkley Point C are ready to start tunnelling the second of three fish protection measures at the nuclear power station. The fish return system will be 620m long and 1.8m in diameter.
