Britain’s nuclear power output has fallen to its lowest level since 1982 amid warnings of a severe cold snap.

The permanent closure of the Hinkley Point B and prolonged outages at other sites caused nuclear power output to fall from 48 to 41 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2023, according to official data published by the Government and EDF.

The Daily Express is looking for comments on how worried Britons should be about power blackouts and what the figures tell us about the UK's nuclear power sector.
