HC Deb 15 February 1966 vol 724 c191W
35. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Technology what is the split of capital investment between Dounreay and Windscale for the prototype fast reactor and its fuel production plant.

Mr. Cousins

Capital investment at Dounreay, including the strengthening of the grid attributable to the project will be about £27½ million and capital investment at Windscale about £2½ million.

36. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Technology if he will give his estimate of the yearly capital expenditure at Dounreay and Windscale on the construction of the prototype fast reactor.

Mr. Cousins

Planning is not yet sufficiently advanced to attempt an estimate of expenditure year by year. However, the expenditure at Dounreay will rise to a maximum of about £8 million in 1970–71; and maximum expenditure at Windscale will be about £1 million in 1967–68.
