The plan called for first one, then ultimately four plants to be built at the site, but it was dropped after strong opposition from environmental groups, and Ireland has remained without nuclear power since.

Slovenian nuclear plant in Krško (co-owned with Croatia) is scheduled to
Trawsfynydd nuclear power station construction started and 92 years after the closure of Trawsfynydd power station. Trawsfynydd nuclear power station Trawsfynydd nuclear power station is a former Magnox power station situated in Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, Wales. The plant, which became operational in 1965, was the only nuclear power station in the UK to be built inland, with cooling water was taken from the man-made Llyn Trawsfynydd reservoir.
