Wylfa Nuclear Power Station spent fuel reprocessing plant at Sellafield. Springfields Fuels Limited ended production of Magnox fuel elements in 2008 due to these plans. However, in 2010 the NDA announced an extension to 2012, beyond Wylfa's 40th anniversary as a generating power station in January 2011, due to schedule slippage at Sellafield which would allow Wylfa additional time before final defuelling. At this time, a strategy was also devised to maximise the generation from the remaining fuel stock given that new fuel could no longer be manufactured. This required a change in the distribution of fuel within the reactors, as well as the
Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station an earthquake intense enough to cause core damage to the reactor at Beaver Valley was Reactor 1: 1 in 20,833; Reactor 2: 1 in 45,455, according to an NRC study published in August 2010. Beaver Valley 1 was used as the reference design for the French nuclear plant at Fessenheim. Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station Beaver Valley Power Station is a nuclear power plant covering near Shippingport, Pennsylvania, United States, roughly northwest of Pittsburgh. The Beaver Valley plant is operated by FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Corporation. This plant has two Westinghouse pressurized water reactors. While the Shippingport Reactor has been decommissioned,
