Hinkley Point A power station has an area of 19 hectares covered by the nuclear site licence. It started electricity generation in 1965 and ceased operations in 2000. Several Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Protection Areas (SPA) are situated around the site.

Work continues to prepare the site for entry into Care and Maintenance.

Status Decommissioning and Termination
Cost - Lifetime
(total discounted nuclear liability)
 £756m

 * The costs of discharging the nuclear liability will be incurred over a significant period of time. To take account of the time value of money, the costs are "discounted" back to a present value. Effectively this is the amount that would need to be invested today, at a set rate of interest (the discount rate) in order to pay for the liability in the future as it falls due.
