Description
On Suffolk's coast near to the villiage of Sizewell is Britain's newest nuclear power station. The site consists of two nuclear power plants, one of which is still operational and is known as 'Sizewell B'. Trains to and from the complex have ran for many years transporting nuclear spent fuel to the Sellafield spent nuclear fuel reprocessing facility. On a warm and sunny June day in 2000 the flask is shown both on the short branch line from Saxmundham and shunting at the facility itself.

A video shows a flask of nuclear spent fuel being transported to the Sellafield reprocessing facility, with scenes captured on a branch line from Saxmundham and at the Sizewell B nuclear power plant. The footage was recorded on a sunny day in June 2000 near the Suffolk coast. Trains operated by Direct Rail Services (DRS) and Intercity have historically transported nuclear materials to Sellafield from the site. The video provides a glimpse into the logistics involved in moving spent fuel from the operational Sizewell B plant.
