HC Deb 17 May 1988 vol 133 c380W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy (1) what is the current estimated cost of a commercial demonstration fast breeder reactor;

(2) what are his current cost projections for electricity generated by fast breeder reactors in pence per kilowatt hours; what are the assumptions behind such cost projections; and if he will publish details of any recent cost evaluations which are publicly available.

Mr. Michael Spicer

Estimates of fast reactor costs are in the energy technology support unit report ETSU-R-43, published in 1987, which is in the Library of the House.
