Sizewell B Power Station Public Inquiry: Fuel Diversity and Security of Electricity Supply

摘要

The main purpose of this proof is to suggest the kinds of argument that the CEGB would need to make to show that Sizewell will not only contribute to better security, but will also be part of the best strategy for security. This would require the Board to show a range of alternative policies or strategies to ensure better security (analogous to its treatment of AGR, PWR and coal-fired plant in the economic benefit case), and also to demonstrate the superiority of an option which includes a PWR at Sizewell. In addition, this proof also raises some of the substantive issues relating to security policy. In general, this Proof is offered as an exploratory rather than as a definitive exercise: it attempts to raise the whole range of issues that need to be considered in an overall security policy, in the absence of such a wide-ranging consideration by the CEGB.
