DNB meaning

In legal and transactional practice, DNB refers to Dungeness B nuclear power station, an Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor facility at Dungeness, Kent. It is operated by edf energy Nuclear Generation Limited as the licensed operator under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965. Electricity generation ceased permanently in 2021 and the station is in defuelling ahead of decommissioning. The term is not defined in legislation or case law; it is descriptive shorthand used across energy, infrastructure and finance documents. References to DNB commonly appear in: asset and site schedules; nuclear site licence obligations and Office for Nuclear Regulation compliance; Environment Agency environmental permits; radioactive waste, defuelling and decommissioning plans; grid connection agreements and land rights; insurance, security packages and project or corporate finance documentation. Usage is broadly consistent across England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. In Ireland, the term is typically encountered in cross‑border finance and transaction documents that reference Great Britain nuclear assets rather than in domestic regulatory materials.
