Central Electricity Generating Board CEGB

The UK s pressurized reactors criteria have been issued by the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate (Nil, 1979) and by the (at the time) national utility (Central Electricity Generating Board, CEGB) (CEGB, 1982). In a more or less direct way, they... 

A number of authorities have issued standards for boiler and feed-water. These include boiler manufacturers, water treatment firms and the British Standards Institution, as well as other interested bodies. The authorities noted here to illustrate the scope for similarities and differences in this field are as follows Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) Electric Power Research Institute (EPRl), as discussed by Smock, British Standards Institution (BSI) Treatment of Water for Land Boilers (BS 2486 1978), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), as discussed by Simon and Fynsk and the (VGB) Guidelines as noted by Smock and by Bolton and Ray All of these authorities emphasise that their standards are essentially guidelines and advise that in any given case the views of the boiler manufacturer should be sought and local circumstances taken into account. 

The first UK civil nuclear power programme, originally operated by the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) and South of Scotland... 

Within the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB), the "double contingency" principle is adopted in considering criticality in the CAGR fuel routes. Thus, at least two Independent low-probability events must occur before criticality can be reached. For clearances based on calculations a criterion is adopted that if one such event takes place, the cMculated Keff plus an appropriate allowance for uncertainties should be <0.95. This uncertainty allowance includes a systematic component and a random component, statistics plus data, etc., taken at the three standard deviation levels. Two computer codes are employed, the lattice code WIMS (Ref. 1) for survey work and the Monte Carlo cbcle MONK (Ref. 2) for... 

The principle safety design requirements of a nuclear power station relate to the potential risk of a radiation hazard to the general public. For the latest UK reactors quantified targets are formulated by the Generating Boards (1) in order to help in ensuring that any risks from nuclear plant compare favourably with other risks from everyday activities. In particular, the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) state inter alia that...
