EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dedicated men working tirelessly on the construction of the reactors auxiliary building at Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station. Located on the picturesque Suffolk coast near the village of Sizewell, this power station is one of two nuclear facilities in the area. Sizewell B, a Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR), holds historical significance as it was the first of its kind to be constructed in the United Kingdom. The renowned John Laing plc was awarded the contract for its main civil engineering work back in May 1987. The photograph transports us back to the 1990s when this impressive feat of engineering was taking shape. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination, showcasing how individuals came together to build something that would provide clean and reliable energy for years to come. Today, Sizewell A, which preceded Sizewell B, is undergoing decommissioning while its successor continues to operate under EDF Energy's management. This image not only highlights their commitment but also sheds light on an industry that plays a vital role in our modern society. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this remarkable snapshot offers a glimpse into an era where people worked diligently towards progress and innovation without compromising safety or environmental concerns.
