Graphite-moderated, CO2-cooled reactor type with natural uranium fuel elements covered by a Magnox sheath. Reactor type mainly built in Great Britain, from the 1950s to the 1970s, with very few exported to other countries.
Currently, there are no more MagnoxCladding tube material in graphite-moderated, gas-cooled rea... reactors operating. The last one of 28 MagnoxCladding tube material in graphite-moderated, gas-cooled rea... reactors produced was shut down in 2015 at Wylfa-1. 26 of them operated in the UK (e.g. Calder Hall, Chapelcross, Hinkley Point A, Sizewell A, Dungeness A, Bradwell…) and have been all shut down starting from 1989. Only 2 MagnoxCladding tube material in graphite-moderated, gas-cooled rea... reactors operated overseas, one in Italy (Latina nuclear power plantThermal power plant, primarily used for electricity generati..., shutdown in 1987) and one in Japan (Tokai-1 nuclear power plantThermal power plant, primarily used for electricity generati..., shutdown in 1998).
