EDF has found a fault during routine inspection which requires 4 of

They shut Teesside down a couple of years ago now and its all been
mothballed till whenever.


More than three years ago and it was fuelled by gas. While Hartlepool Nuclear
Power station is sort of located on Teesside it is not Teesside Power Station!

Surprised it is still standing given the demand for scrap in China

Given the current ownership it is not even mentioned by GDF Suez on their
website.
