CALDER HALL A Technical Survey BRITAIN'S CALDER HALL POWER STATION 'A' - the world's first atomic power station to operate on a truly commercial scale-consists of two reactors with their associated equipment and buildings. It exports approximately 70 MW of electricity. The second power station-Calder 'B' -will also provide about 70 MW of electric power. Both power stations have the primary function of manufacturing military plutonium. Specifications for Calder 'A' and Calder 'B' are identical. Calder 'A' and 'B' together comprise the following installations:- 4 reactors 16 heat exchangers 16 main blowers 8 turbo-alternators and condensers 4 dump condensers 4 cooling towers HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO THE DESIGN CALDER HALL emerges as the logical development of reactor design in the United Kingdom during the past decade. First steps in considering the design of reactors to be built in this country were taken in 1944 by a British/Canadian research team. These reactors were to be built solely for research and the production of plutonium. Work was concentrated mainly on types known to have worked in America, particularly the gas and water-cooled varieties of the slow-fission natural-uranium reactor.
