Further Information

For more than half a century nuclear energy has been the focus of hopes and fears for Britain’s future. The utopian promise of unlimited power, as well as the dread of radioactive pollution, has coloured perceptions of the extraordinary structures which generate nuclear energy.

The revealed actualities of the buildings and plant which deliver these supplies- colossal in scale and revealing vistas of staggering technical complexities, as well as the banal encroachments of time- are the subject of these photographs.

They examine the sites of nuclear power spread out across the landscape, from the vast interior of Wylfa to the brooding forests of Faslane, home of the UK's nuclear submarines, armed with Trident missiles.

This inspection comprehends the social landscape of these institutions, including the double windows of South Look Out, over the North Sea, close by the power stations of Sizewell.
