>China is to begin developing a new nuclear power station in Essex after the Government heralded a new wave of UK reactors by approving the £18bn Hinkley Point plant in Somerset.
>give go-ahead to an completely overpriced, unreliable, untested and outdated reactor design that will provide jobs primarily for the FRENCH, that is funded by EDF and chinks, as well as getting tens of billions in subsidies >then let the chinks build a nuclear reactor in the south of england >chinks, who are so well known for safety are being allowed to build something that could kill hundreds of thousands when constructed poorly and without following regulations correctly (which is what will happen) >EDF is meant to support this build, but they are not well known for safety either and are corrupt
i'm as pro-nuclear as it's possible for anyone to be, but i draw the line at chink reactors. i'm unironically going to be voting ukip at the next election lads.
The Chinese have their nuke plants built by European contractors.
They know better than to build them themselves, they understand how stupid and short-sighted their serf class is.
Enjoy your meltdown in a decade.
Colton Lopez
I smell bullshit. I don't believe it for one second. Just a bunch of propaganda
Isaac Morgan
I wouldn't trust anything the Chinese are setting up. Tell them to go away.
Jackson Martin
UK is like Piggy in middle.
It has good links with China due Hong Kong.
They will invest in uk and be greater allies with you then Europe and America.
But you still have allies all round world in american commonwealth and in Europe.
Brxit should be good for country such as uk with world trade links .
I see trade between uk china increasing and closer ties.
This is a good deal.
Shame about the french.
Dylan Jones
The Chinese should be building a thousand more reactors imo, anything to get the co2 levels down.

>Untested >Outdated What? It can be one or the other, if it's outdated that implies it's been tested/used before.
Nathan Martin
CIDF yes, but the design is chinese. that means at best it will be massively inferior to a western design, at worst it will be downright dangerous.
china hates that we have good links with hong kong, anyone from there will tell you this. the chinese are not to be trusted at all, ask the leaf and the australians about that. yes, increased trade is good, but selling out our energy industry to china is not good at all, selling it out to the frogs is bad enough.

Sebastian Scott
I'm struggling for silver linings again But wouldn't we be having a say and an oversight, in the development of Chinese reactors, making them safer? They will sell them anyway
Aiden Fisher
the design dates back well over a decade which means it's practically obsolete, especially considering construction has barely even started. none of the plants being built with this reactor have actually reached operational status yet, mainly because of major delays, so it is untested in a commercial setting. the french have even admitted it's a shit design and are working on a new one.
Juan Rogers
How can it be old if they just going to build it? Nuclear technology isn't anything that could go old, sun is powered by it. What matters is really to secure it, control it. English people who are part of this deal will make money, that's how it always was.
Samuel Watson
There have been amendments to this deal that stipulates that the government has executive rights to take control of the plant in the case of extraneous circumstances as it is a national strategic asset. The original deal laid out by Osbourne was a fucking joke, essentially barreling Britain up while handing shotguns to the Chinese and French, but the deal has improved slightly.
Honestly, Osbourne fucked this country over for 6 years with nonsensical austerity while printing money and doing fuck all with it. He doubled the deficit and still couldn't pay for this using British companies. Not like we have any decent nuclear engineering companies any more, but that's a whole different matter.
Gabriel Johnson
our regulator will oversee it, but there's only so much they can do. the chinese are providing the money therefore will have significant influence in the construction and design process regardless of who is meant to be overseeing the process. they will cut corners wherever they can because that's what they do, their greed outweighs any sense of foresight. plus once they get the go-ahead to build one, that opens the door to them building more. since if anything does go wrong, it's unlikely it will until well after the plant is operational - it's usually a lack of fail safes or poor operating/safety procedures that lead to nuclear accidents. the only silver lining is that it's nuclear, not a huge, even more overpriced solar or wind farm.
Brandon Cook
haha, serves you fucks right for giving us back to them.
fucking britcucks, you fucked up and deserve this
Hudson Ortiz
More concrete you build around it, more secure it is, but real damage can be caused by human error in regulating it. If you want you can construct 100 meters of concrete around it, then even if human error happens you are safe.
Carter Williams

Joseph Collins
>not that we have any decent British nuclear companies
This is a lie. I work for one. This is one of the things pissing me off about the whole thing. They could have and should have gone local for a major strategic asset in the national interest with this, but didn't. There is loads of British nuclear expertise.
Instead we went with chink crap for the benefit of the French. May had little choice but to OK it as at this late stage it would have caused diplomatic issues with the French and Chinese to kill it. Fuck Osbourne.
Anyone who's worked with the Chinese at any level, national, business, individual, knows to never work with them. Teyrr stupid and can't be trusted.
Sebastian Martin
i guess that's an improvement but doesn't that require there to be some noticeable issue that leads to us taking control? that's great if it runs massively over-budget and the chinese firm goes broke somehow, but not so good if the issue is supposedly insignificant safety measures being overlooked to save money that nobody else notices.
older designs are less efficient and generally less safe (or still safe while being less overdesigned, therefore being cheaper to build) than new designs, each successive design improves on old ones. the main issue with hinkley point is it's incredibly expensive, far more than it needs to be.
Chase Thomas
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_reactors You have operational nuclear reactors starting to get build in 70ies, which were planned also decade ago, so basically designs from 60ies, then completed in 80ies, still working today.
Jeremiah Ross
The type of reactor is a French designed one. It was barely ahead of competing designs from around the world when it was released. Some of these competing ones have already been built sndbsre operational. Every single one of the Hinckley C type of reactors have faced massive delays, costs doubling or more during the course of construction, safety issues in the construction, and other issues.
It's like buying an expensive new football player who promises to be a great addition to the team. He then breaks his foot on is way to first training, misses the first two seasons due to more injuries, reveals he has a secret crippling drug problem, meanwhile your team is now being beat by other teams who picked up cheaper, new young talent or have older, but more experienced and far more reliable players.
Your "star" player then defects to the Chinese.

Benjamin Ramirez
What's the big deal? Qatar owns like 95% of that shard building in London too. Let the stupid foreigners spend their money and you get cheap energy.
You are getting cheaper energy out of this, right?
Parker Perez
why can't we build our own stuff? Oh yes we sold it all off cheaply thats why.
Josiah James
but why would you pay tens of billions to build a reactor from the 60s, when you could build a safer and more efficient plant for far less? just because they're still working doesn't mean it's still a good design compared to what we have now. if that was the case there would be no need to decommission them at massive cost.
Cooper Butler
no, the energy is fucking expensive
and qataris owning a big glass meme in london is fucking irrelevant i have no clue why you even brought that up, unless the Shard is secretly providing us with electricity or something
Gabriel Brooks
i guess fukishma wasnt enough of a wake up call. and the japanese are probly alot more competent. u guys are fucked

Ayden Barnes
>if there hasn't been a meltdown as a result of a chain of unexpected events then the reactors are safe
wew
that building is not a nuclear reactor, and did not cost our government billions and billions in subsidies
>You are getting cheaper energy out of this, right?
not cheaper than if we'd done it ourselves, no.
iirc japanese and yanks have good designs, and they're much more trustworthy as trading partners. we probably have our own designs that are better than this french piece of shit. one major problem with these reactors is the actual reactors themselves are unnecessarily large, they could have chosen tried and tested designs with a smaller power output and built more of them across several sites, and it would still have come to a far lower total cost than what we're doing now.
Juan Peterson
Why even build a nuclear reactor? Then if you build it, why not build it yourself? Does it specifically say it's 60ies?
Elijah Myers
Japan reactor failed because Japanese corporations are above the law and they didn't follow warning signs. But that's how every reactor fails.
Gabriel Johnson
>China to build a nuclear reactor
China should never be in the same sentence as the rest of those words. Good by Britain. I was kinda liking you after the whole Brexit thing but you will be wiped off the globe within a decade.
Noah Gray
should have just let the chinese build the whole thing in their way 2bh
fly in workers the whole shebang
then it would actually get built on time and in budget, this country is incapable of building infrastructure without years of arguments. hence why our roads are so shit
Christian Reyes
One thing you need to know about the Chinese; never trust them. Laowai are barely human to them.
Aiden Brooks

You cannot even bring people into space yourself and have to rely on your enemy Russia, while at the same time badmouthing them, pathetic.
While China yesterday easily have done that and build stuff in the space.
Stay butthurt
Jeremiah Wood
Nah. This Essex one will be designed and built by the Chinese. Designed and built. By the Chinese. I'm just glad I live nowhere near Essex.
After these three plants the UK MUST start building and designing our own. Renewables are centuries away from forming the backbone. 21st century will be all about nuclear. Not getting in on this would be missing a trick.
Michael Morales

Insects are the strongest force on Earth by biomass. Stalin knows numbers but not at the level that Chinese collectively know. You are declining in birthrate.

Wrong again, Koreans are inbred Japanese. Chinese genetics cannot possibly become such filthy subhumans that can breed with blacks and whites. You are of the same negroid-chimpanzee kind. Chinese are true heavenly space travellers. That is why you have your exploding American and Russian rockets. Chinese rockets do not explode.

disgusting
Jordan Johnson
It's funny seeing chinks talking about "owning" anything, when 99.9999% of you are sweatshop-tier slaves.
I've interned at IAEA over the years, I'm well aware of the quality of chinese reactors, they're a running joke over here, pretty much on par with French reactors from the 70s.
I've got my fingers crossed for Chernobyl 2.0
Adam Bailey

Insects are truly superior to your "liberalism" cancer. True collectivism is the people's righteous might smiting individualism the liberal cancer-herpes of the West.
Pay your debt, your life is forfeit to Chinese might.
Yeah, I can't say anything to that, mate. The Communist Party said they would leave Hong Kong alone but they've done nothing but spend the last 19 years turning the screws. Hong Kong was nothing but a fishing village when we first arrived, the PRC had no real claim on it. And now their human rights are getting flushed down the toilet, same as the continentals. We fucked up, big time.
Alexander Nguyen
>99.9999% of you are sweatshop-tier slaves.
asians are insects, they don't care about living standards they care about control
and the UK just handed them control of a giant nuclear reactor in Britain so they could save a few shekels
that's the ideology of an insect
Charles Rodriguez
>I know exactly what I'm talking about you dumb britcuck NO you don't.
I live a few miles away from Hinckley Point, so this sort of discussion has been going on for years now.
The construction workers are local and so are the Engineers, I know some of them.
The Chinese are only part financing the construction, with some items being of Chinese design.
It's NOT full of Chinese workers at all.
Your comments, along with most others on here are laughable.
Aaron Evans
Your Western history is truly propagandist lies. Any real Chinese would know they are genetically descendants of heavenly lineage unlike you forsaken scum. You clearly are evolved apes and monkeys with your body hair and "big dicks" that cannot compare to the black who takes your woman.

Honor is for weak whites and their Japanese cousins. True cleverness is the way a collectivist thinks through, they are ready to expend their family to further the sake of the society.
Those who rely on honor rely on the crutch of animal behavior. True thinking collectivists outwit the weaklings and destroy the weak from within until there is nothing but strong that stands on the pillar of strength.

the west has destroyed the living standards of all western whites lowering wages, safety standards, and environmental standards in order to save a few jewish CEOs enough money to buy an extra yacht.
And the worst part is the right and "capitalists" defend this and every other aspect of globalism because it's "muh free market"
