Following a brief pause to examine the area where Mr Huxtable’s body was found the search operation to find the remaining men has now resumed this morning.
Last week emergency services workers formed a guard of honour at the power station to pay their respects to the victim recovered from the site.
John Shaw, 61, and Ken Cresswell, 57, both from Rotherham, still remain missing.
Thames Valley Police said Mr Huxtable’s family had been informed and was being supported by specially trained officers.
The force is working with the Health and Safety Executive to establish cause of death following the discovery on Wednesday.
Half of the boiler house collapsed while it was being prepared for demolition.
The body of Michael Collings, 53, who was also killed by the disaster, has previously been recovered from the wreckage.
Work to recover the men started in March and was then put on hold after workers reached a 50-metre exclusion zone around the unsafe remaining half of the site.
She said: ‘It is such a relief that one of the missing men has finally been found but we must remember that two more are still missing. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.
That was then brought down in a controlled explosion in July and recovery efforts began a day later.
