EDF works council votes for independent study on Hinkley point

EDF's works council said on Monday it had voted to order an external study into the French utility's project to build two nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point in Britain. The works council said it was missing key information and ordered the study to help it to prepare a recommendation about the 18 billion pound project. EDF's main unions want the company to delay the Hinkley Point project by three years, the time they say is needed to finish other nuclear projects in France and China.
