HC Deb 19 March 1963 vol 674 c27W
39. Mr. Ridley

asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science when work on the Dragon project at Winfrith Heath will be complete; and what will be the likely benefits from the investment there by the Atomic Energy Authority.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

The construction of the reactor at Winfrith Heath should be completed early in 1964; the programme of work extends for eight years in all, that is, until 1967. The Authority will share in the results of all work on the Dragon high temperature gas-cooled reactor system including that in the other participating countries.
