Hunterston B former nuclear power station

Today, Hunterston B nuclear power station in North Ayrshire has transferred ownership from EDF to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) to be decommissioned by its subsidiary Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS).

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is the organisation trusted by the government to decommission the UK’s former nuclear sites safely, securely and sustainably, remediating them for their next use.

Over the next two decades, the NDA’s mission will expand to include the decommissioning of all 7 AGR power stations. Hunterston B is the first site to transfer with Hinkley Point B in Somerset due to transfer later in 2026.
