Chinese firm behind Essex nuclear plant refuses to reveal security information

State-owned company refused disclosure of security arrangements for Chinese plant the Bradwell nuclear station could be modelled on

The Chinese state-owned company planning a nuclear power station in Essex refused to share the security arrangements for a Chinese nuclear plant with the British authorities, it has been revealed.

Inspectors from the UK nuclear regulator visited the China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) in Shenzhen earlier this year, as part of the four-year approval process for the reactor the company wants to build at Bradwell.
