Atomic Energy Research Station (Water)

HC Deb 26 November 1946 vol 430 cc288-9W

Sir R. Glyn

asked the Minister of Supply if he is now in a position to make a statement in regard to the nature and condition of the water to be returned to the Thames after having been used at the Atomic Energy Research Station, Harwell

Mr. Wilmot

All water returned to the Thames will comply with purity standards fixed by the Medical Research Council and already agreed by the other authorities concerned. Most careful arrangements will be made to guard against any accidental discharge of radio-active water into the Thames.
