Atkins welcomes final investment decision for Hinkley Point C nuclear power station - 15 September 2016

Prof Dr Uwe Krueger, Atkins' chief executive officer, said:

'Today's green light is a very positive step for the nuclear industry in the UK as a whole and an encouraging signal of commitment from the government to building crucial energy infrastructure in this country. Nuclear power is an important part of our energy mix and has a major role to play in the transition to a low-carbon future. We are looking forward to continuing our 30 year-long relationship with EDF Energy during the construction and operational life of Hinkley Point C.'

ENDS
