Hinkley Point C gets over $6 billion in financing from Apollo
U.S.-based private capital group Apollo Global has committed £4.5 billion ($6.13 billion) in financing to EDF Energy, primarily to support the U.K.’s Hinkley Point C station. The move addresses funding needs left unmet since China General Nuclear Power Corporation—which originally planned to pay for one-third of the project—exited in 2023 amid U.K. government efforts to reduce Chinese involvement.

Activation techniques were employed in measurements of cross sections for excitation of the 99.4-min isomeric state at 0.392 MeV in 113In and the 4.5-h isomeric state at 0.335 MeV in 115In from near threshold to ∼10 MeV. Effective cross sections for these processes in standard fission neutron spectra were also computed from these data.
