The Penly Nuclear power station (French: Centrale nucléaire de Penly) is found some 6 miles (10 km) northeast of Dieppe. It lies on the border of two French municipalities: Penly and Saint-Martin-en-Campagne in the département of Seine-Maritime, Normandy, on the English Channel coast. It employs France's only working funicular railway in industrial use.
