On 21 October 2020, it was proposed that this article be moved from Oldbury Nuclear Power Station to Oldbury nuclear power station. The result of the discussion was moved.

power output

There are several values bouncing around for the power output. Going Critical gives 415 MWe, http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf84.html gives 434 MWe, the side panel says 600 MWe. does anyone know? --87.127.117.246 (talk) 15:32, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2 * 300MWe (net) was the original design output, but it never ran at that rating because steel oxidation problems from hot CO2. Most of its life it ran at 2 * 217MWe (net) = 434 MWe [2 * 230 MWe gross before site usage such as cooling], but in the early years lower than that. First 2 years it ran at 2 * 212MWe (net) = 424 MWe. then various lower outputs until 1983, see IAEA PRIS[1] for the history. The Going Critical 415 MWe was probably the average 1970-1982ish. I'll look at adjusting the article to this. Rwendland (talk) 17:38, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's in South Gloucestershire, which is not Gloucestershire.

Some text claims it's in Gloucestershire. It isn't, it's in the different region called South Gloucestershire. DanBCDanBC (talk) 12:47, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All info is in the article page, no use to go to the infobox template discussion. Or the problem is the larger map ? In that case, I would suggesting talking here. --Robertiki (talk) 03:22, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oldbury B

As their is currently not enough information to create a page on Oldbury B. As a result, i have made this for the page for when their is enough information, a quick start can be made on the page.
