HC Deb 02 February 2001 vol 362 cc335-6W
Mr. Caton

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans he has to restart the magnox reactors at Wylfa, Anglesey. [147843]

Mr. Hain

I understand that BNFL has agreed with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) a programme of work aimed at enabling BNFL to return the reactors at Wylfa to service. This programme of work is now being implemented. BNFL hopes to complete it during the first half of this year. HSE will not allow BNFL to return the station to operation until fully satisfied about its safety.
