Nuclear power in the United Kingdom

Nuclear power generates around one sixth of the United Kingdom's electricity, using 16 operational nuclear reactors at nine plants (14 advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGR), one pressurised water reactor (PWR), and one Magnox), as well as a nuclear reprocessing plant at Sellafield.
The United Kingdom established the world’s first civil nuclear programme, opening a nuclear power station, Calder Hall at Windscale, England, in 1956. At the peak in 1997, 26% of the nation's electricity was generated from nuclear power. Since then a number of reactors have closed and the share had declined to 19% by 2012. The remaining Magnox plant will close in 2015. The older AGR reactors have been life-extended, and further life-extensions across the AGR fleet are likely.〔
In October 2010 the British Government permitted private suppliers to construct up to eight new nuclear power plants.〔(Eight new nuclear power stations despite safety and clean-up concerns ) Telegraph, published 2010-10-18, accessed 2011-03-29〕 However the Scottish Government, with the backing of the Scottish Parliament, has stated that no new nuclear power stations will be constructed in Scotland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Business-Industry/Energy/Facts/faqs )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/business/officialReports/meetingsParliament/or-08/sor0117-02.htm )〕 In March 2012, E.ON UK and RWE npower announced they would be pulling out of developing new nuclear power plants, placing the future of nuclear power in the UK in doubt. Despite this, EDF Energy is still planning to build four new reactors at two sites, with public consultation completed and initial groundwork beginning on the first two reactors, sited at Hinkley Point in Somerset.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.edfenergy.com/about-us/energy-generation/new-nuclear/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://infrastructure.independent.gov.uk/projects/south-west/hinkley-point-c-new-nuclear-power-station/ )Horizon Nuclear Power have plans for 4-6 new reactors at their sites Wylfa and Oldbury. Three reactors are also in the works at the Moorside Nuclear Project. An agreement has also been made which allows for Chinese designed reactors to be built on the site of the Bradwell nuclear power station.
Of the nine currently operating nuclear plants in the UK, EDF Energy operates eight with a combined capacity of almost 9,000 megawatts, while Wylfa power station is run by Magnox Ltd. All nuclear installations in the UK are overseen by the Office for Nuclear Regulation.
