Trawsfynydd is home to a two-unit Magnox nuclear station which is being decommissioned.
The UK’s Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) has announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Cwmni Egino to support the development of a new small modular reactor project at a decommissioned nuclear power station site in north Wales.

Cwmni Egino is developing a business proposition for the development of new nuclear at Trawsfynydd, with a target for construction to start in 2027.
