Since the 1980s, when the two reactors began generating power, the station has played a pivotal role in the Lancaster district as a major employer and supporter of community groups and charities.
Staff have rallied to raise thousands of pounds for charity and the power plant has hosted many visitors including school pupils and dignitaries.
A look through our archives uncovered lots of pictures taken by our photographers at the power station and of staff out in the local community, so we’ve put together a selection.
We hope you enjoy having a browse through them.
