THIS is what Hinkley Point C could look like if it's given the go ahead.

Board members from EDF are meeting at a high-level meeting today in Paris to decide whether the £18 billion project should be built.

It is expected that the nuclear power plant would provide around seven per cent of the country's electricity once fully operational, if it is approved.

A final decision is expected to be reached later this evening.

Millions of pounds could also be ploughed into the local area to develop infrastructure and thousands of jobs would be created to help with construction.

This video, created by EDF energy, is an artist's impression of what it would look like if built.

It shows a sweeping panoramic view of the site, and of the countryside that would surround it, and shows the views from both the front and the rear of the complex.
