power output[edit]

There are several values bouncing around for the power output. Going Critical gives 415 MWe, http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf84.html gives 434 MWe, the side panel says 600 MWe. does anyone know? --87.127.117.246 (talk) 15:32, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2 * 300MWe (net) was the original design output, but it never ran at that rating because steel oxidation problems from hot CO2. Most of its life it ran at 2 * 217MWe (net) = 434 MWe [2 * 230 MWe gross before site usage such as cooling], but in the early years lower than that. First 2 years it ran at 2 * 212MWe (net) = 424 MWe. then various lower outputs until 1983, see IAEA PRIS[1] for the history. The Going Critical 415 MWe was probably the average 1970-1982ish. I'll look at adjusting the article to this. Rwendland (talk) 17:38, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's in South Gloucestershire, which is not Gloucestershire.[edit]

Some text claims it's in Gloucestershire. It isn't, it's in the different region called South Gloucestershire. DanBCDanBC (talk) 12:47, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All info is in the article page, no use to go to the infobox template discussion. Or the problem is the larger map ? In that case, I would suggesting talking here. --Robertiki (talk) 03:22, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oldbury B[edit]

As their is currently not enough information to create a page on Oldbury B. As a result, i have made this for the page for when their is enough information, a quick start can be made on the page.

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Berkeley Nuclear Power Station which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 14:33, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
