§ Mr. Cookasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he is satisfied with the standards and operation of the pressure vessels at the prototype fast reactor.
§ Mr. Norman LamontThe only vessels of high pressure at the prototype fast reactor (PFR) are those associated with the conventional steam generating plant. I am assured that the standards and operation of all pressure vessels at the PFR are maintained within the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act, the Factories Acts, and the practices of the power industry. During the present shutdown of the PFR, statutory tests of the pressure vessels are being carried out as required by the Acts.
