The UK has nine nuclear power stations which can be found at Torness, Hunterston (two reactors), Hartlepool, Heysham (two reactors), Wylfa, Sizewell (two reactors), Berkeley, Hinkley Point and Dungeness (two reactors).
Stations at Dounreay, Chapelcross, Trawsfynnedd, Bradwell, Oldbury and Winfrith have either been closed.
Windscale/Sellafield/THORP is a nuclear reprocessing plant rather than a power station, and Dounreay was involved in reprocessing as well as generation.

Why did magret thatcher close the mines?
becuz she was spiteful like Ida rostant. Well, the coal mines were losing 1.5 Billion pounds per year (in todays figures calculated to inflation). This was a tremendous debt for the UK, the coal mines were not profitable since the 1960's. Thatcher eliminated the federal debt and reversed the economic socialist-driven downturn in the UK. It's true miners lost their jobs, but the coal mines were not working out. Something had to be done.
