HL Deb 28 June 1989 vol 509 c834WA
Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What system of plutonium allocation to customer has been and is being used by British Nuclear Fuels Limited and whether the co-processing of safeguarded and unsafeguarded spent Magnox fuels has affected this.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Energy (Baroness Hooper)

The products of all reprocessing are allocated by dividing the total pro rata to the quantities of plutonium and uranium in the incoming customer's fuel. From 1987, separate civil and non-civil reprocessing operations have been carried out.
