The UK's flagship Hinkley nuclear power plant was announced in 2007 with an estimated completion date of 10 years, and a cost of £9 billion.
The latest estimated completion date is 2031, and the cost has blown out to £92.5 billion (I quoted an outdated figure previously) and the UK has extensive experience in nuclear power.
RAN personnel recently departed for up to four years training in operating nuclear submarines in the USA. When and where are we going to train the folk who will operate our seven power stations?
It really is pie in the sky.
