Watch: Power station buildings demolished

Footage has shown the moment buildings at a former coal-fired power station were demolished using explosives.

Specialists used strategically placed explosives to collapse the turbine hall and DA bay at the West Burton A site in Nottinghamshire on Thursday morning.

The power station closed in March 2023, and some buildings have already been demolished, with the site due to be cleared by 2028.

In January, a shortlist of five bids to build a fusion power plant at West Burton was announced by the government.
