HC Deb 10 February 1998 vol 306 c206W
Mr. Chaytor

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what assessment is made of the likely incidence of sham recovery, as defined by the Radioactive Waste Management Advisory Committee, in its October 1997 report on the import and export of radioactive waste, when considering application from nuclear reprocessors to import spent nuclear fuel. [28468]

Mr. Battle

The UK has no facilities for the direct disposal of spent nuclear fuel and therefore "sham recovery", as defined by the Radioactive Waste Management Advisory Committee, is not a practical option.
