Скачать или смотреть Cooling Tower Blowdown at Chapelcross

At 9am on 20th May 2007 the four 300ft cooling towers of Chapelcross Nuclear Powerstation were demolished. The cooling towers were one of the most prominent landmarks on the Solway Coast.

Chapelcross, located within four miles of the Solway Estuary, Scotland, was a Magnox-type four-reactor station with eight 30 MW turbines. At full power when operational, the station produced enough electricity to supply every home in South West Scotland, the Borders and Cumbria. Chapelcross Reactor 1 was brought on-line for electricity generation on 25th February 1959 with all four reactors fully operational within 15 months, and had been the mainstay of electricity production in SW Scotland ever since. It was closed in 2004 after 45 years of safe and successful operation. (http://www.chapelcrosscoolingtowers.com )
