SIZEWELL NUCLEAR POWER STATION

Journal Article · · Brit. Power Eng.
OSTI ID:4091115
The Sizewell Nuclear Power Station is described. It will supply 580 Mw from two reactors. It differs from other British nuclear power stations in that the reactors are in one building, allowing certain common equipment and facllities. The spherical site-welded pressure vessel will have 4-in. walls and an inside diameter of 63 ft 6 in. The fuel elements are an improved type with the magnox cans extended with polyzonal multistart helical threads to permit an increase in outlet gas temperature. A tabulation of technical data is included. (T.R.H.)
