§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Energy how much plutonium 500MW and 1000MW (a) magnox, (b) advanced gas-cooled reactor and (c) pressure water reactor stations would produce annually.
§ Mr. EadieAssuming a station of 1000 MW(E) operating continuously, I am advised that the plutonium produced in irradiated fuel elements each year would be some
Type Tonnes Magnox 0.75 AGR 0.25 PWR 0.35 On the same assumption, the amounts from a station of 500 MW(E) would be approximately half these quantities.
