UK signs Hinkley Point nuclear deal with France, China
The UK on Thursday signed the £18 billion (around ₹1.5 lakh crore) Hinkley Point C nuclear deal with France and China. The reactor is Britain's first in decades and is being built by French utility firm EDF with one-third financial backing (around ₹50,000 crore) from China. The deal had been delayed over concerns over the involvement of Chinese state-owned companies.
