Remember those cooling towers that made history at Cottam? Well, this is them now.
Every tonne of concrete from last August's record-breaking demolition is being crushed on site and used to lay the foundations for Cottam's next chapter: the UK's first nuclear-powered data centre, powered by a Small Modular Reactor, as part of the Trent Valley Supercluster.
Reduced carbon footprint. Material stays on site. A direct line from Cottam's energy past to its energy future.
