Britain's unexpected Brexit vote has put an additional focus on short-term uncertainties related to a major UK nuclear project being developed by Chinese and European companies.

Company feedback and the views of sector experts on Monday, however, indicated there should be no long-term impact, in remarks that could ease the concerns of investors.

The deal between China General Nuclear Corporation and Electricite de France SA, for the planned construction of the Hinkley Point C project in southwest England, attracted a lot of concern and speculation ahead of the referendum vote on Thursday, since a would-be Brexit was widely seen as imposing additional financial pressure on the already much-delayed program.
