Based on the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station and later the North Anna Nuclear Generating Station, the CP series was the first Westinghouse-type reactors to be built in France. [86] There are a total of 34 of these reactors in operation; most were constructed in the 1970s and the early 1980s.
The Heysham nuclear power stations are operated by EDF Energy in Heysham, Lancashire, England.On the site two separate nuclear power stations, Heysham 1 and Heysham 2 operate independently, only with joint entry protocol, both with two reactors of the advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) type.
EDF then went about securing a site for the station. In 1967 a board of inquiry initially laid out plans for two UNGG reactors with an output of 800 MWe each. Due to falling petroleum prices and conflicts between EDF and CEA, the project was delayed, with a decision made between 1967 and 1969.
In 2013 EDF acknowledged the difficulties it was having building the new EPR nuclear reactor design, with its head of production and engineering, Hervé Machenaud, saying EDF had lost its dominant international position in design and construction of nuclear power stations. [38] In September 2015 EDF's chief executive Jean-Bernard Lévy stated ...
Sizewell B has a single pressurised water reactor (PWR) and is the UK's newest nuclear power station. A third power station, to consist of twin EPR reactors, is planned to be built as Sizewell C. Sizewell B is due to close in 2035, although EDF has announced that it is planning a 20 year life extension until 2055
The Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant under construction (now halted) This table lists stations under construction stations without any reactor in service. Planned connection column indicates the connection of the first reactor, not thus whole capacity.
Hunterston B nuclear power station is a shut-down AGR nuclear power station in North Ayrshire, Scotland. Located about six miles (ten kilometres) south of Largs and about 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 miles (4 kilometres) northwest of West Kilbride on the Firth of Clyde coast. It is currently operated by EDF Energy.
