§ Mr. DafisTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will bring forward proposals to require(a) the nuclear installations inspectorate and (b) Nuclear Electric to 722W publish data on routine radioactive combination caused by the decommissioning of the Berkeley nuclear power station.
§ Mr. EggarNo. Decommissioning of Berkeley nuclear power station is regulated by the Health and Safety Executive's nuclear installations inspectorate by means of conditions attached to the nuclear site licence. These include the need for consideration of a safety case for decommissioning and arrangements for reporting incidents including those involving radioactive contamination. No significant radioactive contamination incidents have arisen during the decommissioning of Berkeley. Routine monitoring for contamination off site is carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, and Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution and the data are published annually.
