摘要

EDF Energy, the UK nuclear operator, would like to see its 1,250-MW Sizewell B nuclear power station in Somerset in eastern England run for an additional 20 years, a company spokeswoman said September 25. Sizewell B, the only PWR currently operating in the UK, is scheduled to permanently shut in 2035. However, Marjorie Barnes, an EDF Energy spokeswoman, said in an email September 25 that the company would like to see the unit run until 2055.
