Two
of the UK’s biggest unions, Prospect and Unite, have urged lawmakers to
support a “dual design” approach to nuclear new build, meaning they
want Horizon Nuclear Power to choose the Westinghouse AP1000 over the
Areva EPR.
Horizon
Nuclear Power, a joint venture of German utilities E.On and RWE, are
expected imminently to announce their selection of reactor technology to
build in the UK, with the first reactors to be constructed at Wylfa on
Anglesey, Wales.
EDF is planning to build four Areva EPRs at Hinkley Point and Sizewell and the unions what to see the AP1000 also developed.
