EDF and Trillium Flow Services Ltd are facing prosecution following an incident at Dungeness B power station in Kent.
The incident involved a contractor who sustained severe foot injuries near the main cooling water discharge valves on 13th June 2022.
The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), the UK’s independent nuclear regulator, launched an investigation into the matter.

Legal proceedings are scheduled to begin with the first hearing set for 19th March at Folkestone Magistrates Court.
