The company developing the Sizewell C nuclear power station project in the UK has bought the freehold of the land earmarked for the planned facility for an undisclosed sum.
Sizewell C said the deal – involving 895 (362 hectares) acres of land – paves the way for the company to apply for a nuclear site licence for the site on the Suffolk coast in southeast England once the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) completes a safety assessment, it said.
