§ Sir Trevor Skeetasked the Secretary of State for the Environment at what locations in the United Kingdom low-level waste is currently being stored; and what are the tonnages in each case.
§ Mr. WaldegraveQuantities of low-level nuclear waste arising in the United Kingdom are set out by installation
848W
§ Mr. Mark Robinson[pursuant to his reply, 9 February 1987, c. 83–6]: I am afraid that, due to a clerical error, some figures given in my reply to the hon. Gentleman's recent question about job losses in the NHS in Wales since 1979 were incorrect. The figures concerned relate to nursing and midwifery staff in Dyfed (including Pembrokeshire), with consequential errors in the total figures for those authorities and for Wales. The correct figures are shown in the following table.
in the UKAEA report to United Kingdom NIREX and the Department of the Environment—"The 1985 United Kingdom Radioactive Waste Inventory" (Reference DOE/RW/86/087). A copy has been placed in the Library of the House. The report for 1986 should be available in about two months. Minor users of radioactive substances, such as hospitals, may hold very small quantities of low-level waste pending disposal by authorised means.

§ Sir Trevor Skeetasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what tonnage of nuclear waste is currently held at Bradwell; and for what period it has been deposited.
§ Mr. WaldegraveDetails of the stocks of nuclear waste held at Bradwell nuclear power station were published in the UKAEA report to UK NIREX and the Department of the Environment (DOE/RW/86/087) "The 1985 United Kingdom Radioactive Waste Inventory" a copy of which has been placed in the Library of the House. Low-level waste is routinely disposed of at Drigg; other items in the inventory have accumulated at Bradwell during the life of the power station.
