HC Deb 29 October 1957 vol 575 c28W
118. Mr. A. B. C. Harrison

asked the Paymaster-General whether he will take steps to prescribe safety precautions in the construction of the nuclear power station at Bradwell, in order to ensure that an occurrence similar to that which recently happened at Windscale will not be likely to happen.

Mr. Maudling

The reactors at Brad-well power station will be of the improved Calder Hall type employing a closed carbon dioxide cooling circuit and incorporating many improvements on the Windscale type of reactor. I can, however, assure my hon. Friend that in the construction of Bradwell full account will be taken of any relevant lessons that may emerge from the report of the Committee of inquiry into the Windscale accident.
