Nuclear Power Plant
Dungeness B — permanent reactor closure
7 June 2021
Kent, United Kingdom
What happened
Units 1 and 2 permanently ceased commercial operation. This is a reactor closure, not a nuclear accident or an unplanned outage. Generation had stopped in 2018; the operator declared in 2021 that the station would not restart.
