Existing and proposed projects within the C.E.G.B. to demonstrate and evaluate the potential horticultural and other uses of reject heat in cooling water

This paper includes some background information relating to the changed economic climate which has lead to a re-appraisal of the feasibility of utilising the reject heat in power station cooling water. In Britain, where there is a relatively large and well established horticultural industry, there are clear economic objectives which must be met if there is to be a movement away from conventional heating by fossil fuels. Similar constraints also apply in aquaculture, although it is more difficult to assess viability because this industry is still in its infancy. (author)
