An old nuclear power station in Suffolk has become the setting for a recycling story in Britain. Information released by the official website for the UK government on behalf of Nuclear Restoration Services and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority says more than 15,000 metric tons of crushed concrete from Sizewell A’s old turbine hall have been reused at the nearby Sizewell C construction site. Sizewell A was shut down in 2006 and is now being decommissioned. In the course of this process, the turbine hall, which housed the alternator plinths that generated electricity from steam, was demolished.
