The largest ever concrete pour in the UK was completed at the £20-billion Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant in Bridgwater, Somerset. The 1.6-GW project is run by EDF Energy – 17% owned by state-owned China General Nuclear – and will be tied to the grid by 2027 to supply 7% of U.K. power (6 million homes).
