Description
Dungeness
B
is
an
advanced
gas-cooled
reactor
(AGR)
power
station
consisting
of
two
1496
MWt
reactors,
which
began operation in 1983 and 1985 respectively.
It
was
the
first
commercial
scale
AGR
power
station
to
be
constructed.
An
assessment
of
the
existing
structures
was
needed
to
comply
with
the
Health
and
Safety
requirements
and
allow
for the life extension of the nuclear power station.
Project Design
Kashec
provided
a
structural
assessment
of
the
existing
structures for this scheme.
We
carried
out
structural
design
checks
of
the
70
metre
high
dumbbell
shaped
building
housing
two
nuclear
reactors
for
the
purpose
of
extending
the
life
of
the
nuclear power station.
We
also
carried
out
a
structural
assessment
of
various
associated
mechanical
plant
such
as
cranes
and
fuel
handling gantries.
