Consultation is progressing on Sizewell C, a proposed new nuclear power station in Suffolk, with help from the University of Suffolk.

Students and lecturers from the university are currently conducting exit interviews at consultation exhibitions across East Suffolk to get a better understanding of what local people think. 
These interviews measure how easy people find it to get and understand the information being presented. This helps the Sizewell C team ensure local people can access all the details they need to provide feedback as part of the planning process.



Dr Will Thomas, Professor at the University of Suffolk, said: "The Sizewell C exhibitions are a great way for our students to get real experience in conducting research for an industry on our doorstep. The timing has worked really well as the students are just about to embark on their module on research later this term."

Jim Crawford, Sizewell C project development director, said: "It's great to be able to use a local university to conduct this important research. The exhibitions have been really busy and we want to be sure that people are getting the information they need."
