French energy giant, EDF, has said that it does not have any plans to develop a third reactor at Heysham power station. Following yesterday’s decision on a new Hinkley Point reactor, David Morris, MP for Morecambe and Lunesdale, spoke in Parliament about how the Hinkley Point decision could bring about the creation of a new power station in Heysham. However, John Munro, station director for Heysham 2, said that a new Heysham power plant was not a going concern for the company. Mr Munro, said: “Our position is very, very clear, the land is land which can’t be built upon for a new nuclear build. “EDF’s position is that we have no plans to build Heysham 3 and we are focussing our efforts on Hinkley Point C which will be followed up by Sizewell and then Bradwell.”
