THE station director of a new multi-million-pound nuclear power station in England began her career in East Lothian.

Nicola Fauvel will oversee the commissioning and operation of Hinkley Point C in Somerset.

She began her career at Torness Power Station, near Dunbar.

With more than 25 years in the civil nuclear industry, she has also had roles with EDF in Paris and at Flamanville in Normandy.

She said: "I have loved leading the team at Hinkley Point B as custodians of the site, as there is such a proud heritage and real sense of community.

"I am now excited and humbled to be taking on the challenge of preparing Hinkley Point C for generation.

"Building the right operational organisation is just as crucial as the fantastic engineering feats being achieved daily by the construction team."
