HC Deb 22 May 1986 vol 98 c290W
Mr. Dafydd Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list in the Official Report those locations, institutions or facilities in Wales which have a capability of measuring the incidence of strontium 90 and of plutonium 239; and from which of these his Department has obtained information on the incidence of these isotopes following the Chernobyl nuclear accident.

Mr. Mark Robinson

[pursuant to his reply, 19 May 1986, c. 39]: Testing for strontium 90 and plutonium 239 at environmental levels is an extremely specialised procedure and I am not aware of any establishment in Wales which currently have the capability of undertaking such measurement. Samples from Wales collected by the CEGB are tested at the Board's central research laboratory.
