Hinkley could be scrapped?
EDF is threatening to pull out of the Hinkley nuclear reactor deal if an agreement cannot be reached with the government over the returns on its investment.
Site licence granted for Hinkley Point
Hinkley Point in Somerset has been granted the country's first new site licence for a nuclear power station in 25 years.
The industry regulator, the Office for Nuclear Regulation, has awarded the licence to NNB GenCo, a subsidiary of French energy giant EDF.
The firm will still need other permissions before construction can go ahead.
