How many coal mines are there in the UK?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

There are 22 coal power stations in the U.K. Two of them are already closed so there are 20 fully functional coal fed power stations in the U.K. today. List from the United Kingdom Quality Ash Association.
