Hinkley Point C in Somerset, United Kingdom is amongst the safest and most efficient nuclear power generators that are the type of a Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR). This third-generation European Pressurized Water Reactor (EPR) nuclear power station has a projected lifetime of 60 years and is designed to use less uranium and produce less radioactive water waste that will make a significant development towards sustainability. It is designed to provide low-carbon electricity for around 6 million homes using 17% less fuel than earlier installations and will henceforth reduce carbon footprint and will produce less long-term radioactive waste.
With hundreds of megawatts electrical production in planning, the safety of the process becomes a key concern.
