Hitachi Has No Plans of Selling Nuclear Power Project to China
Hitachi last year froze the three trillion yen ($28 billion) Anglesey project and booked a write-down of 300 billion yen on its British nuclear unit, as the project failed to find private investors.
Sources at the time said Hitachi had called on the British government to boost financial support for the project to appease investor anxiety, but turmoil over the UK's exit from the European Union limited the government's capacity to compile plans.
