The generic design assessment for construction of a China-developed Hualong One nuclear power plant at Bradwell B in Essex, southeast England, is on schedule to be completed in early 2022.
The project companies – France’s EDF and China General Nuclear Power Group – said in a statement that if the GDA is successful, a design acceptance confirmation will be issued by the Office of Nuclear Regulation and a statement of design acceptability by the Environment Agency.
The public comments process on the reactor technology proposed for Bradwell B has now closed after nearly four years. EDF and CGN said this marks an important step in the GDA.
