BRITISH ENERGY'S Hinkley Point B nuclear power station has a new man at the top in 2007 after Nigel Cann took over as station director.

Nigel Cann, 42, has worked in the nuclear industry for 26 years, having started his career at the Kent Magnox station Dungeness A in 1981 as a Maintenance Technician.
In 1988 he moved across the fence to the advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) Dungeness B, where he worked his way up though the ranks from electrical maintenance engineer to reactor desk engineer, control room supervisor and finally shift charge engineer.

In 2001 Nigel took on his first of four managerial roles at Dungeness B as outage manager followed by assistant operations manager, maintenance manager and plant manager. Some time ago he moved on to fill the same role at the UK's only pressurised water reactor (PWR), Sizewell B in Suffolk. Nigel, who has two children, lives in Taunton where he enjoys his main hobbies of football, fishing, and golf.
