HC Deb 10 February 1988 vol 127 c226W
Mr. Cryer

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what valuation was put on the fixed assets at Sellafield, Capenhurst and Springfields when transferred from the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority to British Nuclear Fuels Ltd. ownership in 1971; and whether the initial investment cost in these facilities is included as a proportion of the unit cost of nuclear-generated electricity by his Department.

Mr. Michael Spicer

The net book values of the fixed assets to which the hon. Member refers were:

£ million
Sellafield (Windscale and Calder Hall) 8.29
Capenhurst 6.98
Springfields 4.31

The value of these facilities is reflected in BNF's charges to its customers and, as such, is included in the unit cost of nuclear-generated electricity.
