Scope and content

Aerial view of Calder Hall, Britain's first nuclear power station and the first in the world to produce electricity on a full commercial scale. The station was opened by H:M: the Queen on 17 October 1956, when reactor No. 1 of Calder "A" first supplied current to the national grid. The site, on the Cumberland coast, consists of two power stations, Calder "A" and "B". Calder "A" comprises reactors number 1 and 2 and Calder "B" numbers 3 and 4, both stations having a turbine hall between the two reactors and two cooling towers at one end. Reactor no. 4, the last to be built, first supplied electricity to the grid in April 1959, since when Calder Hall has been supplying over one thousand million units of electricity to the national grid each year.
