Nuclear perspectives: the UK outlook
Plans for UK nuclear power could be in jeopardy as foreign investors begin to abandon their plant proposals. The country was relying on eight new nuclear sites to fill its energy gap as aging facilities close, but with the news of E.ON and RWE pulling out of their proposed projects, combined with concerns over limited spending power in the euro zone, nuclear may not be the best fit for future generation.
