Centrale nucleare di Berkeley
Dati aggiornati al 1º novembre 2010

La Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley[1], situata a Gloucestershire, in Inghilterra,è un impianto di produzione elettrica situata presso Berkeley. L'impianto è composto da due reattori Magnox da 276MW di potenza netta, chiusi alla fine degli anni 1990. è stata uno dei primi reattori nucleari al mondo. La sua storia è notevole per essere stata una delle prime installazioni di ricerca nucleare, ed è spesso considerata come una pietra miliare nello sviluppo della tecnologia nucleare.

Data di Avvio: La Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley fu aperta nel 1962 come parte del programma nucleare del Regno Unito. È stata gestita dal laboratorio di ricerca dell'Autorità per l'energia atomica britannica (AEA). Tipo di Reattore: La centrale ospitava il reattore[2] di ricerca a grafite naturale (GCR), noto come il "reattore di Berkeley". Questo reattore utilizzava la grafite come moderatore e il diossido di uranio come combustibile nucleare. Scopo: La principale finalità del reattore di Berkeley era condurre ricerche scientifiche e sperimentazioni nei campi della fisica nucleare, della medicina nucleare e delle scienze dei materiali. Produzione di Energia: Nonostante fosse un reattore nucleare, la Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley non aveva lo scopo di produrre energia elettrica su larga scala, ma piuttosto di alimentare le sperimentazioni scientifiche. Chiusura e Disattivazione: La Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley fu chiusa nel 1982 in seguito a restrizioni di bilancio e preoccupazioni sulla sicurezza nucleare. Il reattore fu poi disattivato e il sito sottoposto a un processo di decontaminazione e smantellamento. Eredità Scientifica: Nonostante la chiusura della centrale, la sua eredità scientifica è stata significativa. Le ricerche condotte presso la Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley hanno contribuito all'avanzamento della conoscenza nel campo della fisica nucleare e di altre discipline. Sito Storico: Oggi il sito della Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley è considerato un sito storico ed è aperto al pubblico come museo, offrendo visite guidate per coloro che sono interessati alla storia della tecnologia nucleare nel Regno Unito[3]. La Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley rappresenta un importante capitolo nella storia della ricerca nucleare britannica e nella storia dell'energia nucleare in generale. La sua chiusura ha segnato un cambiamento nei programmi nucleari britannici, ma il suo impatto scientifico e storico continua a essere studiato e apprezzato.
