HC Deb 16 February 1987 vol 110 c470W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Energy why Wales is not included in emergency radiation monitoring plans for Hinckley Point nuclear power station; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Goodlad

Emergency environmental monitoring points up to 40 km from the station have been identified. including some in Wales. In the unlikely event of an accident at the station resulting in significant releases of radioactivity, existing arrangements for environmental monitoring by the CEGB and Government Departments could readily be extended.
