BERKELEY NUCLEAR POWER STATION

'Berkeley nuclear power station' situated on the bank of the River Severn in Gloucestershire, England. After 27 years of successful operation, generating enough electricity on a typical day to serve an urban area the size of Bristol, the nuclear power station was the first in the United Kingdom to be decommissioned following its closure in 1989.
Berkeley had two Magnox reactors producing 276 MW and was the first commercial nuclear power station in the United Kingdom.
Berkeley is one of four stations located close to the mouth of the River Severn and the Bristol Channel, the others being Oldbury, Hinkley Point A and Hinkley Point B.
