Magnox Reprocessing Plant, Nuclear reprocessing site in Seascale, England
The Magnox Reprocessing Plant features specialized chambers for extracting plutonium and uranium from spent nuclear fuel through chemical separation processes.
The facility started operations in 1964 under the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and transferred to British Nuclear Fuels Limited management in 1971.
The plant represents British industrial advancement in nuclear technology, processing over 55,000 tons of nuclear fuel during its operational period.
Following its closure in 2022, the facility entered a two-year cleanup phase, maintaining employment levels through worker redeployment within the company.
The facility processed five million used nuclear fuel rods throughout its lifetime, achieving higher reprocessing volumes than any other similar facility worldwide.
