Wylfa unit 1, the world's last operating Magnox reactor, will be able to continue generating electricity until the end of 2015 after the UK nuclear regulator approved the plant's latest periodic safety review. A periodic safety review for Wylfa was submitted to the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) in September 2013. It is required to be submitted every ten years and includes a review of the safe operation of the site for the next ten years. The review covers 2014 to 2024 and includes power generation to no later than December 2015, defuelling and initial decommissioning. On 30 September, the ONR announced that Magnox Ltd "has demonstrated that the station can continue to operate safely until 2024."
