HC Deb 19 July 1976 vol 915 c331W
10. Mr. Hannam

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will give an estimated date for the placing of an order for a SGHWR, and the expected cost.

Mr. Benn

The Nuclear Power Company is currently preparing cost estimates for the SGHWR steam supply system. The current target date in its programme for start of construction of the first reactor unit is spring 1978. I understand that an order would need to be placed about six months before that.
