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. The renowned John Laing plc was awarded the contract for major civil engineering work on May 19th, 1987. After eight years of meticulous construction efforts, Sizewell B was finally completed in 1995. Today, it is operated by EDF Energy and continues to play a vital role in providing sustainable nuclear energy. This photograph not only highlights an important milestone in British engineering history but also serves as a reminder of our ongoing reliance on nuclear energy for power generation. The sheer scale and complexity depicted within this image exemplify mankind's ability to harness technology and push boundaries for progress. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this remarkable snapshot offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by groundbreaking advancements in civil engineering and underscores our commitment towards clean energy solutions.
