Berkeley power station recycling deal for remaining boilers

A £15m deal has been agreed to recycle 10 remaining boilers from the former Berkeley nuclear power station.

Early next year, Studsvik will have the boilers collected from Gloucestershire and taken to Sweden for recycling.

The same company has already spent £8m on removing and recycling five boilers from the site, each of which weighs some 300 tonnes.

The Magnox Berkeley site is the first commercial nuclear power station in the UK to be decommissioned.
