Abstract: Abstract The retreat from nuclear power had a profound impact not only on the nuclear ordering pattern but also on the traditional concerns of the CEGB’s own conventional power station engineers, and on the private enterprise constructors and manufacturers of both nuclear and conventional plant. Within a few years, in the later 1950s, it became evident to those concerned with conventional plant that, far from being phased down within the decade to a minimal role, they would, as before, have to take the weight of the burden of meeting the still rapidly-growing demand for electricity.
