HC Deb 19 May 1976 vol 911 c563W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what preprocessing decay is allowed for Dounreay products.

Mr. Eadie

I presume the preprocessing decay referred to is the cooling period allowed before the irradiated fuel is reprocessed after discharge from the reactor. For the Dounreay prototype fast reactor this period will be initially not less than six months.
