Hunterston B Power Station is a nuclear power facility located in North Ayrshire, Scotland. It began operations in 1976 and was designed to generate electricity using nuclear fission in its two advanced gas-cooled reactors. The station has played a significant role in supplying power to the national grid. In 2018, Hunterston B was taken offline for safety inspections due to the discovery of cracks in its reactor cores. The station was officially decommissioned in January 2022, marking the end of its operational life. Its closure reflects the ongoing transition towards more sustainable energy sources in the UK.
