§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the research evaluated by his Department relating to the issue of fast-breeder reactors as fast burners; and what discussions his officials have had with the managers of the Super Phoenix project. [4854]
§ Mr. PageIn 1992 the Government concluded that their continued funding of fast-reactor research was no longer sufficiently justified by the potential for power production of plutonium burning. My officials have had no recent contact with the managers of Super Phoenix.
