Allegedly able to generate 324Mw. It covers 35 sq kms. During the a cold spell of several weeks in 2010, a high pressure time, its peak generation was 10,000watts 5 (FIVE) kettles.
It can be seen for miles. Actual AVERAGE performance abot 22%, about 75 mw.
Not far away was the Hunterston A reactor, a 1950`s design rated at 300 mw. This delivered average 95% power over its lifetime, about 280 mw
