Dungeness A began to generate electricity in 1965, while Sizewell A operated one year later.
It is known that 99% of radioactive materials will be relocated to Sellafield within the next 3 years. However, the complete cleanup of the site took more than a century, expected to be completed by 2110.
The closure of these two plants occurred amid UK efforts to clean up its aging nuclear facilities in a program costing £ 70 billion ($ 137 billion).
