This is the best summary I could come up with:


Construction of the Sizewell C nuclear plant in Suffolk has moved a step closer after a Development Consent Order (DCO) was officially triggered.

EDF wants to build a two-reactor nuclear power station that will generate 3.2 gigawatts (GW) of electricity - enough to provide 7% of the UK's needs.

Sizewell C said these had all been met and Nuclear Minister, Andrew Bowie, is visiting the site to mark the occasion and meet the project team.

"East Anglia will benefit from thousands of new jobs and apprenticeships as a result, demonstrating the local rewards of backing new nuclear," he added.

Julia Pyke and Nigel Cann, joint managing directors at Sizewell C, said: "This is a significant moment for our project in Suffolk and a big step for British energy security.

Jenny Kirtley, chair of Together Against Sizewell C, said: "Driven by nuclear ideology rather than practicality, the government is showing blatant disregard for the protected landscape of the Suffolk Coast."
