Sizewell B is the UK's only PWR nuclear power station. First connected to the grid in 1995, it remains the newest nuclear power station in the UK! The power plant produces over 1 GW of baseload electricity generation, annually providing electricity roughly equivalent to the entire consumption of Northern Ireland (or half of Wales'). Join us for a guided tour to see the ins and outs of one the UK's biggest sources of low carbon energy.
The site visit will be on the 24th of January, 2025. We will depart by coach in the morning, you will need to bring your own lunch, and we will be back in Cambridge by the early evening. No pictures are allowed inside the power station.
This visit is organised by CUETS.

We are limited to 42 people, so this form is an expression of interest + collects necessary information, but is not a confirmation of your place. If you successfully ballot, more information will be sent to you closer to the date of the trip to confirm your place. If at this point you decide not to come, we can offer your place to someone else. However, please make sure you can commit to the day of the 24th of January as we will not be able to make changes to the visitor list last minute.
Note, you must be over 18 and bring an in-date passport, in date UK driving licence, or EEA National ID card. This trip is open to all members of the university and all nationalities. We are required to collect the information from question 4 onwards for EDF's security requirements, and will share your information with them.
