SIZEWELL B POWER STATION, LEISTON, SUFFOLK COASTAL. A view of the reactor containment building under construction at Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station, showing progress in the construction of the steel liner.
Sizewell B is one of two nuclear power stations on the Suffolk coast near the village of Sizewell. Sizewell A, its predecessor, is in the process of being decommissioned. Sizewell B is a Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR); the first of its kind to be constructed in the UK. John Laing plc were awarded the contract for the main civil engineering work on 19th May 1987. Sizewell B was completed in 1995, after 8 years of construction, and is operated by EDF Energy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable progress made in constructing the steel liner of the reactor containment building at Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station. Located on the picturesque Suffolk coast, near the village of Sizewell, this power station is a testament to engineering excellence and nuclear energy's potential. Sizewell B stands as one of two nuclear power stations in this coastal region, with its predecessor, Sizewell A, currently undergoing decommissioning. What makes Sizewell B particularly noteworthy is that it was the first Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR) ever constructed in the United Kingdom. The main civil engineering work for this ambitious project was awarded to John Laing plc on May 19th, 1987. Over an eight-year period filled with dedication and expertise, construction reached completion in 1995. Today, EDF Energy operates this impressive facility. This image serves as a powerful reminder of both human ingenuity and our reliance on sustainable sources of energy. The intricate details showcased within the photo highlight not only the magnitude of such an undertaking but also underscore how crucial it is to continue investing in innovative solutions for our future energy needs. Preserved by Historic England Archive and captured by A© photographer Joh from A© Historic England Archive collection, this photograph encapsulates a pivotal moment in British history where technology met environmental consciousness head-on.
