BRITAIN’S latest nuclear power station is already providing a multi-billion boost for the economy though only in its early stages of construction, a new report has revealed. So far Hinkley Point C, near Bridgwater, has been responsible for around £15 million of investment into education, skills and employment initiatives both locally and regionally.
