The Continuing Story of Dungeness ' B '
Presented by Mary Goldring
The building of the first Advanced Gas cooled reactor power station, Dungeness ' B ', was started in 1966. Its story is one of difficulties and delay - it will not be ready until 1978 at the earliest - and it raises many questions about the planning and implementing of an energy policy, the difficulties of advanced technologies in a weak economy, and the relationships between public and private industry and the government. How can a project be so beset by misfortune and what lessons can we learn for the future?
