§ Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry for what reasons(a) THORP and (b) the Sellafield MOX plutonium fuels plant were excluded from consideration in the strategy review of BNFL on which she made her announcement on 11 December. [144573]
§ Mr. TimmsThe 2001 Government White Paper "Managing the Nuclear Legacy—a strategy for action" stated that THORP and the Sellafield MOX plant at Sellafield would pass to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority when it is established in April 2005. For this reason it was not appropriate for them to be considered as part of the review.
