HC Deb 03 November 1997 vol 300 c44W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what quantities of mixed oxide fuel have been transported from Sellafield to date for use in German nuclear power plants. [13740]

Mr. Battle

My Department's annual press release details the total exports of plutonium in the form of non-irradiated mixed oxide fuels. Copies of this, and previous releases, are available in the Library of the House. The most recent release, on July 31 1997, reported that 83 kg of plutonium were exported as MOX fuel, exclusively to Germany. Details of individual contracts remain commercially confidential.
