The defueling of the first of two advanced gas-cooled reactors at the Hinkley Point B nuclear power plant in Somerset, the UK, has been completed. The Hinkley Point B plant was first synchronised to the electricity grid in February 1976. The plant generated more than 311 terawatt-hours of electricity before it was permanently shut down in August 2022, when it moved into its defuelling phase.
