From the beginning of Britain's nuclear power programme it has always been the Central Electricity Generating Board's (CEGB) policy as operators of nuclear power plant, to maintain sufficient staff and facilities to enable us to test experimentally and examine theoretically, certain proposals or features of design in any reactor tendered to us. The procedure whereby the CEGB submits to the reactor construction company a technical specification which is transformed into a design by the company ensures a large measure of cooperation between the two organisations before and after a design is issued. Although this ensures that principles are agreed beforehand, the CEGB may question or test certain of the proposals put forward by the construction company. In this way the CEGB becomes what it terms an 'informed buyer'.
