HC Deb 12 March 1968 vol 760 c245W
40. Mr. Urwin

asked the Minister of Power what is the maximum density of population near to which he will permit a nuclear power station to be built.

Mr. Marsh

I cannot lay down precise figures. Every site must be considered individually. Topographical features as well as population density need to be taken into account. But I do not yet contemplate licensing stations within a mile or two of developments of full urban density.
