GBN to buy sites for new nuclear

Great Britain announced last week that it will purchase land at two nuclear sites from Hitachi for £160 million ($203 million).
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced the deal for the sites—Wylfa in northern Wales and Oldbury-on-Severn in southwestern England—during the annual budget speech to Parliament. Under Hitachi’s ownership, the land was prepped for developing a pair of advanced boiling water reactor units, but those plans were suspended in 2019 due to economic constraints.
