Closure
ROF Elstow closed in 1946. The CEGB took over the site in 1969 with the intention of building a power station but this never came to fruition.
In the early 1980s Elstow was proposed as a site for a UK nuclear waste repository. In 2007 work began on the new town of Wixams on the site. In the process of applying for planning permission for the Wixams development, a comprehensive survey of the site was carried out by Albion Archaeology, which included interviews with former workers. The report, with site maps and annotated photographs, was published in 2009.
