§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many facilities operated by or for his Department store or process radioactive materials; and if he will list all notifiable radiological incidents that occurred at these sites since 1979.
§ Mr. AitkenThe number of sites that exceed the threshold for exemptions from the Radioactive Substances Act, 1960, is currently under review but is in the region of 160. Records of the notifiable radiological incidents under the Ionising Radiations Regulations, 1985, are held by individual establishments and units and could be collated only at disproportionate cost.
