A view of the Sizewell A & B nuclear power stations. Since the sale of British Energy to Électricité de France (EDF) in February 2009, plans for a further twin-unit reactor to be built at Sizewell have looked increasingly likely. [48] Sizewell already has a connection agreement in place for a new nuclear power plant to be built. [49]
It was the sister plant to the Calder Hall nuclear power station plant in Cumbria, England; both were commissioned and originally operated by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. The primary purpose of both plants was to produce weapons-grade plutonium for the UK's nuclear weapons programme , but they also generated electrical power for ...
