This 1998 booklet [PDF, 18 MB] gives the impression that it was meant to accompany a video presentation, and we should very much like to know if that was so, and if so, whether anyone can track down the video.
The really odd part is at the back. The last few pages are dedicated to information about a specific power plant, leading us to believe that the booklet was produced in several versions, perhaps for distribution at the visitor centers of different power plants. But the information at the end of this booklet about nuclear power is about a hydro station!
It must be explained that the only inland nuclear power station in Britain was Trawsfynydd in North Wales, a 550 MW station which started up in 1965 and operated until 1991 — that is, it shut down years before this booklet was issued. Trawsfynydd nuclear station used for cooling the lake created in the 1920s to feed the 30 MW Maentwrog hydro station, which was thereafter operated as an auxiliary of the nuclear plant. And so the data pages of this booklet refer to Maentwrog, which is currently operated by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
