 Magnox Reprocessing Plant

The Magnox Reprocessing Plant is a facility in the UK that was primarily designed for the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel from Magnox reactors, which are gas-cooled reactors that were developed in the 1950s and used for generating electricity. The plant is located at the Sellafield site in Cumbria and was established to recover usable materials like uranium and plutonium from spent fuel, which can then be recycled for use in new nuclear fuel.
