EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the impressive construction of the reactor building at Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station, located on the scenic Suffolk coastal area. Taken from a tower crane to the north, the image showcases the intricate steel lining of the domed roof, symbolizing both strength and innovation. Sizewell B stands as one of two nuclear power stations in this region, with its predecessor Sizewell A currently undergoing decommissioning. As a pioneering Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR), it holds historical significance as being the first of its kind constructed in the United Kingdom.
