Abstract

The organization of the nuclear power industry in the United Kingdom has been a matter of debate for some considerable time, in view of Britain's failure to obtain an export order in the last 12 years despite the fact that highly effective reactor development has taken place. There have also been serious problems of overcapacity in the UK to design and build nuclear power stations.
