The site powering the UK’s clean energy

On 28^th March 1946, Springfields was named as the site for nuclear fuel production for the UK and has played a vital role for both the industry and the UK ever since. Today, Springfields manufactures the nuclear fuel which produces around 32% of the UK’s low carbon electricity – playing a key role in the UK achieving its Net Zero by 2050 clean energy ambitions.

Nuclear energy is part of the solution for those who care about a changing climate.

You care about creating a carbon-free future. So why should you also care about the benefits of nuclear energy? Because nuclear power offers these important benefits while providing safe, clean and reliable energy:
