> Hinkley Point C is so different from its counterparts in Flamanville and Olkiluoto that it shouldn’t be thought of as just another EPR-1750, but rather the first ‘UK EPR’. A brand new design. This is a worrying aspect of the project: as the author points out, a more standardised and proven design will ensure multiple sources of help and advice when something goes wrong. If we build ourselves a "new" design then we're on our own.
