The operators of nuclear power plants are taking steps to minimise the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, including isolating key staff and stockpiling items workers might need if they are unable to leave a site.New-build projects, including those at Hinkley Point C in England, Hanhkivi-1 in Finland and Vogtle-3 and -4 in the US, have not been delayed by the outbreak, although a spokesman for Hanhikivi-1 told NucNet it was too early to judge what might happen in future.He said the possibility of the pandemic affecting the schedule “cannot yet be ruled out”.Construction at Hinkley Point C in the UK has not been affected by the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus, but EDF Energy said it will be working with contractors and trades unions to review the developing situation in the coming days and weeks.
