Future of the Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors
The UK''s nuclear power is generated primarily by seven advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) stations, owned by EDF Energy. The AGRs are scheduled to stop generating electricity during
Read MoreThe CEGB conducted a detailed economic appraisal of the competing designs and concluded that the AGR proposed for Dungeness B would generate the cheapest electricity, cheaper than any of the rival designs and the best coal-fired stations. The advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) is a type ofdesigned and operated by the. As of January 2026, four of the seven AGR generating stations constructed remain in service, each having two reactors.
