§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy what is the total volume of spent commercial Magnox fuel awaiting reprocessing at Sellafield; how long it will take to complete the full reprocessing of this spent fuel if it is carried out at the average present level of throughput; and what proportion of the Magnox fuel awaiting reprocessing arises from spent fuel imported from Italy and Japan.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerThe stock of spent commercial Magnox fuel awaiting reprocessing at Sellafield amounts to just over a year's reprocessing throughput. About 10 per cent. of the fuel reprocessed in any year is from overseas.
