There are fourteen AGR reactors in operation, two at each place: Dungeness B, Hinkley Point B, Hunterston B, Heysham Stage 1, Heysham Stage 2, Hartlepool, Torness. Also one PWR at Sizewell. The only two magnox plants still operating are Oldbury and Wylfa, two reactors at each. That makes your total of nineteen.
