Gas Circulator, Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor, Torness, 2023
Over a period of three years, Michael Collins photographed the interiors of historic and live nuclear reactors and power stations across the UK. Collins was granted unprecedented access to Dounreay, Sellafield, Chapelcross, Winfrith, Dungeness, Trawsfynydd, Sizewell A and B, Wylfa and Torness. Documenting infrastructure spanning seven decades, these photographs depict the present state and future of Britain’s nuclear industry – usually hidden from public view.
