§ Mr. Home Robertsonasked the Prime Minister if she will give an estimate of the effects which would be caused by an accident at a British nuclear power station of similar magnitude to that which occurred at Chernobyl in terms of deaths, effects on human health, costs of emergency arrangements, costs of rehabilitating land and property in Britain and elsewhere and the cost of replacing the generating plant.
§ The Prime MinisterThe Chernobyl design is different from that of United Kingdom reactors. Planning against the remote possibility of an accident serious enough to affect people in the vicinity of a nuclear installation in the414W United Kingdom is described in the HSE's booklet "Emergency Plans for Civil Nuclear Installations", a copy of which is in the Library of the House.
