§ Mr. Home RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy what international safeguard arrangements exist to cover the nuclear reactors at Torness and spent nuclear fuel from the Torness reactors; and what facility attachments and particular safeguard provisions exist for Torness.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerNuclear material in the reactors at Torness, and spent nuclear fuel from the reactors, is subject to Euratom safeguards and the terms of the United Kingdom—Euratom—IAEA safeguards agreement. The particular safeguard provisions for Torness are not yet in force with Euratom. There is no facility attachment in place for Torness since the IAEA has not designated the facility for routine inspection.
