Why Greenwich's Jason reactor was a different planning case

The Jason reactor at Greenwich is distinguished from a proposed generating plant by its purpose, institutional setting and period.

Notes

The Jason reactor at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, is raised as a precedent for a nuclear installation in the London area. A testing reactor is treated differently from one expected to generate power. The Navy's institutional position and the period's approach to nuclear installations also make the comparison with a proposed Heathrow power source imperfect.
