 These are the 4 reactors of Chapelcross http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapelcross_nuclear_power_station They were commissioned in 1959 and continued to generate electricity up until 2004 They were built to provide additional Plutonium for the British Nuclear Weapons push when it was realised that the nearby Calder Hall reactors (Windscale/Sellafield) were not making sufficient quantities. Electricity a handy by-product of the rush to have the Atom Bomb. Nuclear Power Stations with Chimney Stacks ! http://www.magnoxsites.co.uk/site/chapelcross/ (That's 8 down 4 left to visit -watch this space) Dave |

This the harbour of Cemaes on the island of Anglesey, North Wales on Sunday
---------------------------------------- Not 2 miles away looking back across the bay  and if you turn through 180 degrees..  The UK's oldest running Nuclear Power Station . Turned back on the 13th July. Wylfa is the last of its type. Only running by combining the fuel from both of its reactors into 1. This station is the only one being run by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (which can’t be a good sign) this last run will net it £100,000,000 http://www.magnoxsites.co.uk/2014/07/wylfa-back-online/ watch the video On the other side along with Security  There’s groundwork’s everywhere  For the new build Just one of the new build sites that are being justified on Nuclear Power being clean, safe and carbon neutral Spectacularly fails on the first 2 counts and the climate doesn’t give a monkeys about 0.04% of the atmosphere being CO2 I can’t figure out a way to stop the new build except by holding this up to the light Dave |

Anglesey is a beautiful peaceful place distinctly separate from the mainland.
