Wylfa has
been generating electricity since 1971 and is currently operated
by Magnox North Ltd.
First stop is the
multi-media Powerhouse theatre.
Visitors receive
a warm 'virtual' welcome from TV's Peter Davison, who
explains all about nuclear energy, from splitting the atom and
the design of nuclear reactor to the facts about decommissioning
and waste disposal.
Learn, through
hands-on display and interactive exhibits, about the
radio-active world in which we live, how a nuclear power station
operates and its true impact on the environment.
Find out about
safety, step inside a giant fuel tank to watch a spectacular
safety test film showing a train crashing into a real flask at
more than 100mph.
A Nature Trail
around the site (no dogs allowed) winds through beautiful
woodlands to a point overlooking the dramatic Anglesey coastline.
The cafe in the
Visitors Centre provides a range of snacks and refreshments. |
