Template:Infobox UK power station Hunterston B Power Station is a nuclear power station in North Ayrshire, Scotland. It is located about 9km south of Largs and about 4km north-west of West Kilbride. It is operated by British Energy.
It started generating electricity on 6 February 1976 and is currently scheduled to be decommissioned in 2011.
The graphite moderator core in each of the twin advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGR) at Hunterston B has recently developed structural problems in the form of cracking of the bricks.[1]
The nearby Hunterston A twin Magnox reactor buildings are now being decommissioned.
