Japanese company and US construction group Bechtel offer rival proposal to French firm EDF's plans for Hinkley Point C reactor
Hitachi has unveiled a construction consortium to build a 10bn nuclear power station in Wales "on time and on budget", as a rival to the French-backed plans for Hinkley Point C.
There are no British firms involved but among the partners of the Japanese firm are Bechtel of the US, which has just brought a new atomic power plant online in America, but is better known here for work on the Channel tunnel and CrossRail.
