Geotechnique, 1968•icevirtuallibrary.comSynopsis The United Kingdom Government offered a large area on Middle Chalk near
Thetford in Norfolk a possible site for a giant proton accelerator for CERN. This 300 GeV
machine has very stringent requirements for the ground stability and deformation under load
which are outside normal civil engineering experience and practice. The Paper describes
how the suitability of the site in meeting these very exacting specifications was assessed.
