This water-pressure nuclear facility is the only one in the UK of this kind. Its importance to the country's power production is confirmed by the fact that building work has already started to expand the facility by two more reactors. These will be known as Sizewell C. Sizewell C will be a 3.2-gigawatt power station, generating low-carbon electricity for around 6 million homes.
