HC Deb 30 June 1986 vol 100 c379W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Energy, in what ways the plutonium with plutonium-240 content less than 15 per cent. produced by Hinkley Point A, Sizewell and Oldbury since 1 April 1969 has been disposed of.

Mr. Goodlad

[pursuant to the reply, 26 June 1986, c. 269–70]: It is the practice to co-process all fuel discharged from the generating board's Magnox reactors. The resulting plutonium is retained in the civil cycle.
