Closure of EDF's Ayrshire plant, which has operated on west coast of Scotland since 1976, leaves UK with just seven operational nuclear stations. The 1.2GW capacity power station first began operating in 1976, and although it was originally expected to operate for 25 years, EDF was able to extend the plant's lifespan a number of times.
