The first of eight 520-tonne steam generators for the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station under construction in Somerset, southwest England, has been delivered to the site after arriving by sea and road.
The 25m long steam generators will take heat from the nuclear reactors to create steam to power the world’s largest turbines.
The generator’s arrival is in time for the fit-out of the new power station, which will see the first nuclear reactor installed later this year, EDF Energy said in a statement on 13 May.
