=== Last operating magnox reactor === The [[Nuclear Decommissioning Authority]] (NDA) announced on 30 December 2015 that [[Wylfa nuclear power station|Wylfa]] Unit 1 β the world's last operating Magnox reactor β was closed. The unit had generated electricity for five years longer than originally planned. Two units at Wylfa were both scheduled to shut down at the end of 2012, but the NDA decided to shut down Unit 2 in April 2012 so that Unit 1 could continue operating in order to fully utilize existing stocks of fuel, which was no longer being manufactured.<ref name=wnn-20151231>{{cite news |url=http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/WR-Worlds-last-operating-Magnox-reactor-closes-31121501.html |title=World's last operating Magnox reactor closes |publisher=World Nuclear News |date=31 December 2015 |access-date=4 January 2016}}</ref> The small 5{{nbsp}}[[MWe]] experimental reactor, based on the magnox design, at [[Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center|Yongbyon]] in [[North Korea]], continues to operate {{as of|2016|lc=on}}.
