Hinkley Point B transfers to NDA, starting 46-year nuclear decommissioning
Hinkley Point B in Somerset has been formally transferred from EDF to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, with day-to-day decommissioning now run by NDA subsidiary Nuclear Restoration Services. The station generated zero-carbon electricity for 46 years, from 1976 to 2022, and will employ around 250 staff through its decommissioning phase.
Our readThe transfer closes one of the UK's longest-running nuclear chapters and shifts the commercial burden of decommissioning from EDF onto the public balance sheet, via the NDA.
