Berkeley Nuclear Power Station Berkeley Nuclear Power Station Berkeley nuclear power station is a disused Magnox power station situated on the bank of the River Severn in Gloucestershire, England. The construction of the power station, which was undertaken by a consortium of AEI and John Thompson began in 1956. It had two Magnox reactors producing 276 megawatts (MW) in total – enough electricity on a typical day to serve an urban area the size of Bristol. The reactors were supplied by The Nuclear Power Group (TNPG) and the turbines by AEI. Electricity generation started in 1962 and ran for 27 years to 1989. Reactor
