Heysham 2
Description
Heysham 2 power station, which is being built near Morecombe on the north west coast of England by the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) will be the fifth nuclear power station of the British designed Advanced gas cooled reactor type (AGR). When fully operational in the late 1980s the station's two 660 megawatt turbo-generators will be capable of supplying the electricity to a large industrial city. This brochure, which has been designed by Public Relations for the CEGB, explains briefly the siting, planning history, contract responsibilities and construction. A brief account of the AGR design is given followed by a description of some of the main components. The text is illustrated with colour photographs and diagrams. The technical details are listed.
