So the real actual estimate of Hinkley Point C investment cost is โฌ58 billion. That's โฌ18,000 per kW.
Two of those for the Netherlands (the equivalent of the four new nuclear power plants considered of 1.6 GW each) would then require โฌ115 billion, to be put up by a new state-owned energy company.

Costs of Hinkley Point C could have been even higher if not for EDF charging ยฃ1.6 billion to the parallel Sizewell C nuclear project for sharing expertise gained from Hinkley, helping to mitigate similar issues and delays.

Hinkley Point C nuclear plant delayed to 2030 as costs climb to ยฃ35bn
French utility company EDF says operations in Somerset will start a year later as delay costs firm โฌ2.5bn
UK's Hinkley Point C new nuclear plant delayed to 2030 as costs climb to โฌ56 billion*, i.e. โฌ17,500 per kW.
EDF said the first reactor will begin operations in 2030, a year later than in the last update โ almost 13 years after construction work began.

Opmeer heeft deze locatie op het oog voor mogelijke kleine kerncentrale
Gemeente Opmeer onderzoekt locatie voor kleine kerncentrale (SMR) op bedrijventerrein De Veken. Reactor zo groot als tennisveld. Lees het plan.
#Opmeer begrijpt het niet helemaal. Dit is wel erg dicht tegen de woonkern aan. Een 20MW reactor houdt een aantal PBq aan vluchtige radioactieve stoffen. Als daar 10% van vrijkomt is dat nog steeds erg gevaarlijk. Geen juiste locatie voor een #SMR. #kernenergie www.nhnieuws.nl/nieuws/35720...

Hitachi/GE BWRX-300 as propagated in Estonia.
Hitachi/GE BWRX-300 as planned in Canada
Always beware of #nucleare propaganda.
First: what Hitachi/GE tries to sell as BWRX-300 #SMR.
Second: what they actually propose to build in Darlington, Canada.
Yes - it will simply again be big and ugly.

5/7 It is very clear: this #US administration tries to undo checks and balances put into place because of bad experiences in the past, in order to "speed things up".
This will inevitably result in a next severe accident down the line at some time. Woe to the people and environment then impacted.

4/7 How do you know there is no significant affect on the environment (and EIAs are not only about *human* environment, but also the natural one), when no EIA is made? Just a reminder: the EIA is meant to assess this. There is no other procedure in place.

The currently sought derogation from @ec.europa.eu #Russia sanctions because its aggression in #Ukraine by #Bulgaria shows that Russia still uses Bulgaria as "Troyan horse" in the EU, plus its #nuclear dependence on Russia. There are less corruption prone alternatives. www.bta.bg/en/news/1057...

Prime Minister: there is approval from the European Commission; the first 4 billion PLN for the construction of the Polish nuclear power plant in December
The Polish nuclear power plant is to have a capacity of 3750 MW.
1/2 4 BlnPLN (1 Blnโฌ) down the drain, 56+ BlnPLN (14+ Blnโฌ) of #Poland taxpayer money still to go? The #nuclear lobby will celebrate and cash in. They will need a lot more (a reasonable estimate of double to triple), mind my words. This is a sad day for Poland. europeannewsroom.com/prime-minist...
