HC Deb 23 July 1986 vol 102 cc283-4W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make available to hon. Members all reports and assessments made by his Department since 1979 on the effects of a maximum credible nuclear accident at the four Calder Hall nuclear reactors on the contnued operation of the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing and waste handling activities after such an accident.

Mr. Goodlad

There have been no such reports and assessments made by the Department of Energy. Safety is the responsibility of the operator, overseen by the Health and Safety Executive's Nuclear Installations Inspectorate.
