§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Energy what is the volume of the spare storage capacity of the irradiated fuel stores at a nuclear facility at which the nuclear installations inspectorate considers that it will be necessary to close down the station.
§ Mr. GoodladI am advised by Her Majesty's nuclear installations inspectorate of the Health and Safety Executive that it expects sufficient storage capacity to be kept available at a nuclear power station so that an irradiated defective channel of fuel could be discharged immediately from a reactor.
