HC Deb 08 June 1976 vol 912 c639W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement about the United Kingdom capacity for nuclear fuel element storage facilities.

Mr. Eadie

I am satisfied with the present amount of United Kingdom capacity for nuclear fuel element storage facilities but the situation is always kept under review. The storage arrangements on licensed sites are subject to strict requirements as to safety imposed and enforced by the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate of the Health and Safety Executive under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965.
