  • Hinkley Point: Design Difficulties Loom
    Hinkley Point: Design difficulties loom - BBC News http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35989850 Sections Hinkley Point: Design difficulties loom David Shukman Science editor 7 April 2016 Science & Environment EDF ENERGY Six years ago a French government inquiry issued a warning that makes for chilling and highly relevant reading even today. The report said that the complexity of the kind of nuclear reactor destined for Hinkley Point was itself a "handicap" to its construction and its cost. So it should come as no surprise that wherever the new European Pressurised Reactor (EPR) is being installed - in Finland, France and China - the projects are beset by delays and massive increases in price. The EPR is what's called a Third Generation reactor and it's designed to be safer, more powerful and more efficient than earlier versions. Ironically, it's also meant to be easier to build. But so far the reality has been the opposite. The first of the reactors was sold to a Finnish power company where, amid a blizzard of 1 of 6 2016-05-11, 9:19 PM Hinkley Point: Design difficulties loom - BBC News http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35989850 lawsuits, it's on course to be nine years late. The second was ordered for an EDF site in Normandy where, as the BBC's Business Editor Simon Jack reports, it will be six years late. Two more are being assembled in China and are now estimated to be "only" two years late. I put it to the engineers running the Hinkley project that a source of difficulty for the EPR could be all the new safety features - for example an extra layer of containment and a sophisticated device called a "core catcher" that sits below the reactor where it would trap any molten radioactive material if there was ever a meltdown.

  • Economics Reading List
    Last updated: December 2017 Economics Reading List If you are interested in Economics then it usually means you are interested in the way it applies to the real world around you. You should keep up with the news, particularly when it involves key economic indicators or policies. Journalists frequently use concepts and vocabulary from Economics A Level, and reading the news regularly will help cement these ideas in your mind. Reading news-sources will also give you up to date macroeconomic data on things like inflation, unemployment and growth, as well as good examples of market failure such as monopoly power and negative externalities, as well as the government’s measures to deal with these. News-sources: The BBC news website is worth a daily visit, particularly the Business and Economy tabs. The blogs written by Kamal Ahmed and Simon Jack can be good. Build in listening to the Today programme on Radio 4 (Mon - Sat 6:00am – 9:00am) into your morning routine. This is the one single thing you can do that will make you a better informed economist. Subscribe to the Economist through the School offer. You are unlikely to read it cover to cover every week, but skim through for interesting articles and those that map on to topics you are studying. The Times, Guardian, Telegraph, and Independent all have good coverage of the economy. The Guardian and Telegraph on Saturday, and the Times on Sunday are particularly strong on economic news. The Week – this is an excellent weekly magazine that presents the week’s news in brief.
