§ Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for Energy how much plutonium has been created at the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Winfrith steam generating heavy water reactor nuclear station since it was commissioned; what quantity of this plutonium has been reprocessed and to what purpose any reprocessed plutonium thus arising has been put.
§ Mr. Goodlad[pursuant to his reply, 21 November 1986, c. 352]: Since May 1979 the discharge of irradiated fuel from the SGHWR, operated by the UKAEA at its establishment at Winfrith, has contained an estimated 170kg plutonium. None of this has been reprocessed.
