The Trawsfynydd nuclear power station site in north Wales.
Plans have been confirmed to make a former nuclear power plant in north Wales the lead project for the decommissioning of former Magnox stations in the UK.
Trawsfynydd, which had two 195-MW gas-cooled Magnox reactors, is on a 15-hectare site, on an inland lake in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales.
It started service in 1965 and generated 69 TWh of electricity over the 26 years until its closure in 1991.
