HC Deb 16 November 1992 vol 214 c48W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what estimate has been made of the change in the level of emissions of radioactive substances as a result of the opening of the thermal oxide reprocessing plant at Sellafield.

Mr. Maclean

Activity limits proposed in the draft authorisations published jointly today by Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution and the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food would ensure a continued decline in the maximum radiation dose to the public from Sellafield even when including the contribution from THORP at its full operating capacity.
