§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the environmental safety of the operation of nuclear power plants in Wales.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesThe two nuclear power stations in Wales at Trawsfynydd and Wylfa are subject to strict regulatory controls, as part of which an extensive environmental monitoring programme is undertaken. The results of this monitoring are regularly published by the Government and have consistently shown that the levels of radioactivity in the vicinity of the two stations meet international and national guidelines.
