HC Deb 23 July 1986 vol 102 c283W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether there have been any further official assessments of the implications of the 1957 Windscale fire since the Fleck committee reports.

Mr. Goodlad

The National Radiological Protection Board published "An assessment of the radiological impact of the Windscale fire October 1957" (R135) in November 1982, and an addendum to that report in September 1983. In addition, there have been a number of detailed technical studies relating to different aspects of this subject, many of which are listed in that NRPB report.

Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will reconsider his decision not to place in the Library copies of accountancy records of the reprocessing batch from which the liquor discharged from Sellafield on 23 January originated.

Mr. Goodlad

No.
