The mystery of the final eleven
According to Reuters, the UK government has offered up another 18 sites as candidates for new power reactors in addition to the four originally outlines (Bradwell, Sizewell, Dungeness, Hinkley Point).
Only 14 sites have ever been used to house power reactors in the UK. If we assume that El Gordo is not going to pick a fight with the Exalted One and that none of the new sites are Scottish, then that eliminates Chapelcross, Hunterston and Torness. So that leaves only seven exiting nuclear power stations.
Where are the final eleven?

As I understood the announcement, the new sites are currently controlled by the National Decommissioning Authority (NDA). That agency controls sites that were part of the atomic weapons complex, not sites associated with operating nuclear power plants.
I do not know where the sites are, but they are not limited to the ones that have hosted power reactors.
It's like Battlestar Galactica. Who Are The Final Five?
