The United Kingdom's plans for new nuclear plants are still on track, announced UK Energy Secretary Chris Huhne earlier today. An interim report conducted by the UK's nuclear chief inspector found that the country does not need to curb operations of nuclear power stations or plans for new nuclear reactors in the aftermath of the crisis at Fukushima's Daiichi reactors. The country has plans to construct a set of new reactors to maintain electricity supply and cut carbon dioxide emissions as a generation of older power plants is shut down. This decision comes as Germany and Japan rethink their plans for nuclear power in light of the disaster at Fukushima.
