Faulty powers

Article Abstract:

When the Australian authorities began developing a plan to build the Lucas Heights nuclear facility in the southern suburbs of Sydney, they asked four leading contractors to deliver designs for existing reactors that they had built and which had proved successful. The four tenderes were Technicatome, AECL, Siemens, and Argentinian group INVAP, which built the so-far unproven ETRR-2 reactor in Egypt.
