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.

The results obtained from the solution of the expansion coefficient equations obtained in the preceding paper for the Walsh approximation are given for both one and two dimensions. Since the one-dimensional analysis was performed mainly to lay a foundation for the two-dimensional analysis, only a brief summary of the one-dimensional results is given. The two-dimensional analysis was performed on a problem type that accentuates ray effects. Solutions obtained with various Walsh and Gauss-Walsh quadrature sets are shown; these solutions provide substantial mitigation of the ray effect, yet retain a reasonable degree of accuracy in the calculation of volumetric reaction rates.
