HC Deb 01 March 1971 vol 812 c312W
Mr. G. Elfed Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many advanced gas-cooled reactors have been sold abroad; and what have been the other benefits of the advanced gas-cooled reactors development programme in terms of overseas business.

Mr. Ridley

No reactors of this type have been sold abroad to date. Licences for the system have, however, been taken out by German and Japanese firms, and development of A.G.R. technology has been instrumental in securing overseas business in oxide fuel manufacture, reprocessing and ancillary equipment.
