It is made of a corrosion-resistant material with low absorption cross section for thermal neutrons, usually Zircaloy or steel in modern constructions, or magnesium with small amount of aluminium and other metals for the now-obsolete Magnox reactors.

A number of types were developed, including the Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor ( AGR ) at Windscale, considered a natural successor to the Magnox reactors; the Fast Breeder Reactor ( FBR ) at Dounreay; the high-temperature Dragon reactor at Winfrith.

In January 2007 BNFL announced that it would sell BNG's Magnox reactor sites operating business, Reactor Sites Management Company Ltd . It was later sold in June 2007 along with its subsidiary that held the operating contracts with the NDA, Magnox Electric, to EnergySolutions.

The first of four Magnox reactors became operational in 1956 at Calder Hall, adjacent to Windscale and across the River Calder, and the site became Windscale and Calder Works.
39.
The power station, which is currently being decommissioned, had two Magnox reactors, each supplying steam to three English Electric 93.5MW turbine generator sets which were all together across both reactors designed to produce 500 MWe but, after de-rating of the reactor power output due to corrosion concerns, both reactors combined produced 470 MWe.
40.
All the UK's Magnox Reactor Sites ( apart from Calder Hall ) are operated by Magnox Ltd, a Site Licence Company ( SLC ) of the NDA . Reactor Sites Management Company ( RSMC ) holds the contract to manage Magnox Ltd on behalf of the NDA . In 2007, RSMC was acquired by American nuclear fuel cycle service provider EnergySolutions from British Nuclear Fuels.
