Mr. Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what volume of (a) high-level radioactive waste. (b) intermediate-level radioactive waste and (c) low-level solid waste would be expected to be generated annually if the proposed European fast reactor demonstration reprocessing plant becomes operational.

Mr. Ancram

In their document, "Supplementary information (including certain environmental issues) relating to the outline planning application to construct a European Demonstration Reprocessing Plant at Dounreay", the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and British Nuclear Fuels plc. indicated that they would expect the volumes of high-level and intermediate-level radioactive waste arisings to be 85m 3 per annum in liquid form (12m 3 per annum after solidification) and 170m 3 per annum in solid form respectively. The applicants have not indicated the expected volume of low-level solid waste arisings.
