Nuclear Power Stations

HC Deb 18 February 1991 vol 186 c29W

Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy on what date he expects to publish the long-term safety reviews for Hinkley A, Trawsfynydd and Sizewell A nuclear power stations.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

I understand that the Health and Safety Executive's nuclear installations inspectorate—NII—has almost completed its detailed assessment of the long-term safety review of Hinkley Point A. The HSE will publish the NII's findings later this year. The NII's examination of the long-term safety reviews for Trawsfynydd and Sizewell A are due for completion by late 1991 and the end of 1992 respectively. The HSE proposes to publish the NII's findings on these long-term safety reviews as soon as possible thereafter.
