§ Mr. Warbeyasked the Minister of Power what is the total capital cost of the Sizewell nuclear power station; and what is its estimated useful life.
§ Mr. WoodThe total cost of the Size-well nuclear power station, including the initial fuel charge, is expected to be £71.5 million. The life of the station cannot at present be accurately predicted, because there is little experience of operating a nuclear power station. For accountancy purposes, a life of twenty years has been assumed.
§ Mr. Warbeyasked the Minister of Power what is the estimated annual output of the Sizewell nuclear power station when it is in full operation.
§ Mr. WoodThe estimated output of the completed station operating at 75 per cent. load factor would be 3,810 million units.
