UK Central Electricity Generating Board

The UK Central Electricity Generating Board has published the results of trials [244J carried out with winter wheat grown on PFA, which indicated that the addition of three inches of topsoil to the bare ash produced a marked increase in yield. Greater depths of soil did not produce further proportionate increases in yield and no significant increases in uptake of a wide range of trace elements (including lead and cadmium) were observed.

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...
