HC Deb 21 December 1981 vol 15 c288W
22. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Energy why he has cancelled the reverse field pinch fusion experiment at Culham.

Mr. John Moore

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is spending substantial sums on research and development in the nuclear field across a very wide range of important programmes but funds are not unlimited and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is unable to meet the cost of the RFX experiment at Culham within the funds now available for its research and development programme.
