Heysham 2 Power Station World Record

Photographing the moment of shutdown

EDF's Heysham 2 Power Station in Lancashire has just ended a world record breaking run of 940 days of continuous operation and I was their chosen photographer allowed into the control room to witness and record the switch off.

Previously the longest running continuos days for a reactor had been in Canada, and they had held it for the last 22 years.

Heysham's reactor is now undergoing a planned maintenance program.
