Webinar – China’s involvement in British nuclear power

Speaker: Dr Simon Taylor, Cambridge Judge Business School

The proposed new £16 billion nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C in Somerset cannot go ahead without Chinese funding. China, having built a large nuclear power industry at home, is now a world leader in nuclear power stations and wants to bring that expertise to the UK. With finance, project management expertise and their own advanced nuclear reactor technology, Chinese companies are keen to establish their credibility by building in the UK. Is this a good deal for the UK? Should the UK be depending on Chinese technology? The webinar will explain why the UK needs foreign help to achieve its energy policy goals and why China is probably the best place to find that help.

The webinar is open to all.
