§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on the implications for the work currently being carried out at Sellafield by British Nuclear Fuels Ltd., as a result of the nuclear installations safety audit published in December 1986, of the re-assessment made by the National Radiological Protection Board of increased risks from radiation and recommendations for a reduced dose level of radiation exposure.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerI am advised that the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the NRPB report do not directly affect the work programme agreed between BNF plc and the HSE as a result of the HSE's "Safety Audit of BNFL Sellafield" report. However BNF plc assures me that in its detailed implementation of this work programme it will take account of the NRPB guidance.
