Hunterston B is one of seven advanced gas-cooled reactor sites in the UK which are nearing the end of their lives.

Oxide fuels include the remaining overseas-derived spent fuels that are being stored at Sellafield before reprocessing at Thorp and also the spent fuels from the UK's fleet of Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor power stations, which are owned and operated by EDF Energy.
