TRAWSFYNYDD. NUCLEAR POWER STATION. I. ENGINEERING DESIGN. 2. TECHNICAL CALCULATIONS. 3. CIVIL ENGINEERING

Now under construction at Trawsfynydd in North Wales, this 500 Mw nuclear power station is the first plant to be sited inland and presents many interesting problems. Design and description are given for the core, pressure vessel, fuel elements, charge-discharge, reactivity control, boilers, gas flow, turbogenerators, and station control. Calculations and civil engineering are reviewed. Principal station data and a 36 x 24 in. colored wall chart are given. (W.D.M.)
