OSTI ID:4785457
The pros and cons of using prestressed concrete pressure vessels, based on observations of model tests, for the next British nuclear power station are reviewed. The characteristics, present development, and design methods are considered. The results indicate that the prestressed concrete pressure vessel is more practicable, safe, and economical than the steel vessel. (N.W.R.)
