§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy whether any plutonium separated at Sellafield from the spent nuclear fuel discharged from the JAPCO TOKAI—1 Magnox nuclear plant has ever been co-processed with(a) spent fuel of similar irradiation from electricity board/nuclear board/Scottish Nuclear Magnox plants and (b) spent fuel of similar irradiation from BNFL's Magnox plants.
§ Mr. Heathcoat-AmoryThe policy of British Nuclear Fuels plc is to co-process civil spent fuel from its various home and overseas customers wherever it is operationally desirable to do so. In respect of material from BNFL's own reactors, I refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my hon. Friend the Member for South Worcestershire (Mr. Spicer) to the hon. Member for East Lothian (Mr. Home Robertson) on 8 December 1988 at column329.
