2 x Addvanced Gass-Cooled Reactors

 An Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor is a specific type of nuclear reactor. These are the second generation of British gas-cooled reactors, using graphite as the neutron moderator and carbon dioxide as coolant. The AGR was developed from the Magnox reactor and operates at a higher gas temperature for improved thermal efficiency, but requires stainless steel fuel cladding to withstand the higher temperature. Because the stainless steel fuel cladding has a higher neutron capture cross section than Magnox fuel cans, enriched uranium fuel is needed, with the benefit of higher "burn-ups" of 18,000 MWt-days per tonne of fuel, requiring less frequent refuelling. The first prototype AGR became operational in 1962 but the first commercial AGR did not come on line until 1976. All existing AGR power stations are configured with two reactors in a single building. Each reactor has a design thermal power output of 1,500 MWt driving a 660 MWe turbine-alternator set. The various AGR stations prod

THE OWEN TESTAMENT

Help me, Oh Clouds. Oh Clouds, stay by me. Let no harm come to me. Let me remain healthy and invincible.  Send, Oh send, you powerful Clouds, ninety cats. I command you, Oh King of the Cats, I pray you. May you gather them together, even if you are in the mountains, or on the waters, or on the roofs, or on the other side of the ocean. May these ninety cats appear to tear and destroy the hearts of kings and princes, and in the same way the hearts of teachers and judges, so they shall harm me not. Holy Trinity, protect me.
