This report compares, from the economic and technical standpoints, two power reactor types: the British gas-cooled Calder Hall design and the U.S. pressurized-water (Shippingport) design. The basis of comparison was "second generation" designs of 90,000 electrical kilowatts output, incorporating fairly assured technical improvements over the present designs of these types. These advanced designs could be placed in operation in the early 1960's.
