False-col photo of Sellafield nuclear power plant
False-colour photograph of Sellafield nuclear power & reprocessing plant in Cumbria, UK, showing some of the buildings on the large site. The gold dome housed the Windscale Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor (AGR), a prototype nuclear reactor operating from 1963 to 1981. The tall stack is part of a complex which included the two Windscale plutonium production reactors, where uranium was irradiated to produce plutonium

EDITORS COMMENTS
This false-colour photograph showcases the Sellafield nuclear power and reprocessing plant in Cumbria, UK. The intricate details of the site's buildings are beautifully captured, offering a glimpse into this significant location. One prominent feature is the golden dome that housed the Windscale Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor (AGR), an innovative prototype nuclear reactor that operated from 1963 to 1981. Standing tall amidst the complex is a towering stack, which forms part of a larger structure housing two Windscale plutonium production reactors. These reactors played a crucial role in irradiating uranium to produce plutonium, contributing to advancements in nuclear technology during their operational years. The image provides viewers with an opportunity to appreciate both the scale and complexity of this important facility. It serves as a reminder of mankind's pursuit of scientific progress and our ability to harness nuclear energy for various purposes. This stunning print from Science Photo Library offers an intriguing visual narrative about Sellafield's historical significance within the field of nuclear power generation and reprocessing. It invites us to contemplate not only its architectural beauty but also its contribution towards shaping our understanding of atomic energy throughout history.
