HC Deb 29 October 1976 vol 918 c417W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is the lead time required for building a commercial SGHWR power station and a demonstration FBR project.

Mr. Benn

The CEGB currently estimates it would take six years to construct an SGHWR reactor unit. In the absence of a design for a full-scale fast reactor, it is not possible to make any estimate of lead time.
