		<description><![CDATA[One of Wylfa’s twin reactors ceased generating electricity after 41 years of safe operation. Originally planned for the 30th April, the reactor shut down five days earlier than planned after an issue was identified with the plant. Normally, the reactor would have returned to service within a few days following an investigation. The decision has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dounreay has completed the destruction of one of the most hazardous legacies of Britain’s earliest atomic research. A purpose-built chemical plant processed the last of 57,000 litres of liquid metal lifted from the primary cooling circuit of the experimental fast breeder reactor. The coolant – an alloy of sodium and potassium (NaK) &#8211; was a major chemical [...]]]></description>

Since it opened in 1971, Wylfa has generated over 200TWh (terawatt hours) of electricity. The decision to close Reactor 2 was taken because limited fuel stocks do not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A clean-up operation funded by the NDA has destroyed more than half the liquid metal used as coolant in the experimental Dounreay Fast Reactor. Its annual report published today describes the toxic sodium-potassium alloy it inherited in 2005 as the second biggest hazard in its £3bn-a-year clean-up mission. Some 57,000 litres remained inside the reactor [...]]]></description>
