HC Deb 19 November 2003 vol 413 cc901-2W
Mr. Alan Reid

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will list the(a) sites in the United Kingdom on which intermediate level nuclear waste is stored and (b) volume stored on each site. [139507]

Mr. Morley

The following is a list of sites at which intermediate-level radioactive waste (ILW) is stored. The figures have been taken from the 2001 waste inventory published by Defra and Nirex in October 2002. The figures for each site are the volume of conditioned waste, in cubic metres, and, where appropriate, include the ILW estimated to arise from continued operation and decommissioning.
