HC Deb 26 May 1993 vol 225 c638W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what weight of plutonium has been created in the Trawsfynydd nuclear plant since it opened; and what information his Department has received from Nuclear Electric and its predecessor company in regard to movements of plutonium from the plant.

Mr. Eggar

I have been asked to reply.

Since 1986–87, estimates of the plutonium contained in the reactor discharges at Trawsfynydd power station have been published as part of the annual plutonium figures. Copies have been placed in the Library of the House. Estimates for earlier years could be produced only at disproportionate cost. For the information supplied by operators on shipments, I refer the hon. Member to my reply of 3 December 1992, Official Report, column 346.
