Abstract
Designing the layout of plant in a power reactor proceeds in parallel with theoretical analyses of performance and design of plant. Layout is the most practical side of design and is centred on the drawing office. Though it is a process of trial and change, there is a logic to the work. Very little analysis of this process has been published, though the work is a substantial part of the engineering cost of a project. In the evolution of projects, the peak of layout work does not coincide with the peaks of analytical design and detailed plant design, yet analysis, layout and detail must finally be in agreement. An appreciation of each is needed in order to achieve this. This article sets out to describe the place and process of layout design, as experienced in development of two British nuclear generating projects in the series derived from the Calder Hall reactors.
