All spent fuel has been removed
ALL spent nuclear fuel has been removed from the site of the former Hunterston B power station, leading to it being declared nuclear-free.
The site in Ayrshire provided power for nearly 46 years until it was shut down in 2022.
Over the past three years, engineers have removed 4,880 elements of spent fuel from Hunterston B, packaging them into large flasks for transport to Sellafield in Cumbria.
Owners say the nuclear power plant saved 172 million tonnes of CO2 entering the atmosphere compared to gas-fired power during its time in operation.
