§ 54. Mr. Dribergasked the Minister of Power if he will give an assurance that, since nuclear reactors are in future to be gas-cooled, hitherto unspoiled stretches of sea and estuary coast will no longer be devastated by siting power stations thereon.
§ Mr. Frederick LeeAll existing and prospective designs of nuclear power stations need large quantities of cooling water for the steam turbines and this must continue to influence the choice of sites. As in the past, the Central Electricity Generating Board will do all it can to minimise the impact of its works on the amenities of the surrounding area.
