§ 56. Dame Irene Wardasked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science why the Atomic Energy Authority has proceeded with the development of the reactor regarding which information has been sent to him by the hon. Member for Tynemouth.
§ Mr. Denzil FreethThe information sent me by my hon. Friend is not sufficient to enable me to identify the reactor concerned, but I assume that it relates to one for marine propulsion. Both the reactor systems for marine propulsion now under development by the Atomic Energy Authority are considerably more advanced technically than any of the system which were under consideration some four years ago.
