The award-winning -u2 billion Sizewell B nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast north east of Ipswich is the UK's first pressurized water reactor (PWR) electricity generation plant. Completed in 1995 it set new design and safety standards for PWR stations and has become a model for future PWR developments both in the UK and overseas. Compared with US designs the Sizewell B reactor design has 10 per cent thicker primary containment and a further 300mm thick secondary containment dome. The five refereed papers in this special issue of ICE Proceedings are written by senior members of the project team and cover the planning, design and construction of the power station together with its 56 m deep diaphragm cut-off wall and 900 m immersed tube cooling water tunnels.

Originally published in 1987. The Chernobyl disaster intensified the whole debate on the nuclear power industry. There was great public concern about the industry regulation, about the siting of nuclear facilities, including the dumping of nuclear waste, and about the alleged secretiveness of the industry. This book examines these and many other important aspects of the industry worldwide and provides much important original research. It focuses in particular on the political processes which control the industry, on waste disposal and on the social impact.

Originally published in 1990. This book argues that a better understanding of the social impact of decommissioning - in areas such as jobs, waste, economics, opinion, law, public policy, land-use and legacies - is vital to the successful application of any technical solution. The issues raised are divided into three areas which deal with those problems that have already been recognized, the questions that decommissioning itself will raise and those that may result from likely future developments. The book aims to initiate a process of appraisal by examining several of the more obvious social ties to decommissioning.
