Oldbury Power Station,Gloucestershire,England. This nuclear power station has been operational since 1968. It typically generates 435 megawatts (MW) of power,enough for a city 1.5 times the size of Bristol. It uses Magnox reactors to draw energy from hundreds of tonnes of fissioning uranium. It is a twin-reactor power station,run by BNFL,and is scheduled to close in 2013. Nuclear power obtains energy through controlled chain reactions involving the fission (splitting) of large atomic nuclei,such as uranium | |
