HINKLEY POINT B nuclear reactor has been taken offline as British Energy lurches from crisis to crisis.

The beleaguered nuclear energy group closed one of its two reactors at Hinkley Point at the weekend for what it claims was "Routine maintenance".

Three other reactors across the UK have also been closed.

Now doubts remain over the future of the power station and the 450 staff employed at Hinkley Point.
