Nuclear New Build Part II - 26th February 2008
The most recent presentation on nuclear new build designs by Atomic Energy of
Canada Ltd (AECL) and GE Hitachi Ltd, was held in Halcrow’s Glasgow office on 26
February 2008. The event was attended by approx 65 people from nuclear industry
and enterprise related organisations across central Scotland. The evening
started with refreshments followed by the first presentation by Mr Keith
Bradley, Regional Vice-President of AECL. Mr Bradley discussed the technical and
safety aspects of the CANDU reactor design and gave his unique perspective of
the nuclear new build landscape in the UK. This was followed by an equally
impressive presentation by Mr Joe Carelli of GE Hitachi who touched on the
unique design features of GE’s boiling water reactor. The event was a follow on
from the earlier presentations in December 2007 where Westinghouse and Areva
presented their new build reactor designs to almost 100 guests from across the
industry.
Februarys meeting was also the first BNES event in the UK to use web and audio
conferencing to transmit the presentations to other parts of the UK. British
Energy at Torness had 12 people attend their conference room where the
presentation was projected onto a screen and a conference phone used to listen
to the presentations. This also gave the remote attendees the opportunity to
take part in the discussion at the end of the presentations. In addition to the
remote attendees at Torness nuclear power station, the meeting was also joined
by 8 people from Halcrow’s Handforth office and satellite office at Bettyhill in
Caithness, where Halcrow’s Principal Environmental Specialist, Ms Fiona
Henderson said, “The use of WebEx to transmit these presentations is an
excellent step forward for the society and gives remote or outlying areas the
opportunity to take part in the tremendous events that the BNES CASS branch run.
The use of WebEx has not only opened new avenues for remote office locations but
cut out travelling to this lecture which would have polluted the atmosphere with
approx 2.5 metric tonnes of CO2”.
