The British government has given the green light to a controversial new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point after Prime Minister Theresa May ordered a review.
"Having thoroughly reviewed the proposals for Hinkley Point C, we will introduce a series of measures to enhance security and will ensure Hinkley cannot change hands without the government's agreement," Business Secretary Greg Clark said in a statement.
"Consequently, we have decided to proceed with the first new nuclear power station for a generation".
In July the board of French state-owned power company EDF approved its participation in the project, which is in Somerset in southwest England, only for Britain's new government under Mrs May to announce that it wanted to review it.
China has a one-third stake in Hinkley Point, and analysts have warned that Britain would have risked its relations with the world's second-largest economy if it cancelled the costly deal.
Unions welcomed the announcement, saying 25,000 jobs will be created by the project.
