EDF Gets Environmental Permit for First U.K Reactor in 20 Years

Electricite de France SA won environmental permits for its planned atomic power plant at Hinkley Point in Somerset, which will be the first new reactor to be built in Britain in more than two decades.
EDF obtained the three main permits required from the U.K. Environment Agency, the company said today in a statement. They govern control of emissions, cooling water and liquid waste discharges from the Hinkley Point C plant, as well as safe disposal of small amounts of low-level radioactive waste.
