Baker,-J. It is the Central Electricity Generating Board's view that nuclear power is a safe technology and, on reasonable hypotheses, a sound economic investment of national resources. This booklet, based on a talk to members of Parliament in October 1981, sets out the reasons for this. The proposal to build a pressurized water reactor at Sizewell (Sizewell-B) is set in the historical and economic context of the overall energy policy. It acknowledges that public acceptability and the strategy for developing nuclear power in this country are the main problems facing the CEGB's nuclear policy. The Sizewell-B public enquiry is seen as a chance of gaining public confidence in the decision-making process associated with nuclear power. (U.K.).
