Hartlepool power station is a nuclear power station situated on the northern bank of the mouth of the River Tees 2.5 mi (4.0 km) south of Hartlepool in County Durham North East England. The station has a net electrical output of 1190 megawatts which is 2% of Great Britain’s peak electricity demand of 60 GW. Electricity is produced through the use of two advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGR). Hartlepool was only the third nuclear power station in the United Kingdom to use AGR technology.
