HC Deb 03 February 1977 vol 925 cc283-4W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Energy how many Common Market countries are now engaged on surveys or projects for disposal of nuclear waste products; and how many of the sites chosen for survey or project work are in isolated or relatively isolated areas.

Mr. Eadie

I am advised that all the Common Market countries except Luxembourg are involved to some degree in investigation of the suitability of various geological formations for radioactive waste disposal. Most sites being investigated are in relatively isolated areas.
