Llyn Trawsfynydd

North Wales

Trawsfynydd nuclear power station is a former Magnox power station situated in Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, Wales. The plant, which became operational in 1965, was the only nuclear power station in the UK to be not built on the coast (cooling water was taken from the man-made reservoir, Llyn Trawsfynydd). It was closed in 1991. Work to completely decommission the site is expected to take almost 100 years.
We walked directly passed the power station, its still humming away now.

Sad to see such disfigurement of a beautiful setting.

A beautiful vivid image.

It wouldn't bother me if I never saw a nuclear power station...humanity may one day see them as the worst disaster ever.

Its a lovely area. A 100 years seems a long time to clean up the plant. V

Beautiful scene and capture of it, and interesting info about the power station, too.

seems odd to situate a nuclear plant amid such wonderful terrain...not a good return either if only 26 years in operation and then 100 years to clean up...fine shot Colin..

Looks like a beautiful spot, apart from those concrete monstrosities!
