Unusual Shrimp Farm Operates At Power Station Site
Unusual shrimp farming near Hinkley Point power station in Somerset uses water warmed 7 degrees above sea by the plant. Lt. Cmdr. Maurice Ingram with the Central Electricity Generating Board says 25,000 shrimp grow 18 months here, much faster than in the sea, with year round production. The facility, in a turbine cooling building, avoids radioactivity exposure and could cut Britain’s import bill for shrimp, currently about one million pounds annually.
