HC Deb 12 March 1990 vol 169 cc98-9W
Mr. Malcolm Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment why, in table 3–11 of the United Kingdom radioactive waste inventory (DOE/RW 188.061), substantial low-level waste arisings are included with the figures for committed sources.

Mr. Trippier

I presume that the hon. Member refers to the table on page 3–11 which gives this information. These low-level waste arisings are those from the operation and decommissioning of plant currently in existence, under construction or required in future for currently approved programmes.
