Thorp Reprocessing Plant
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make it his policy to close permanently the Thorp reprocessing plant.
- Answer
-
Our policy remains as set out in the 2002 White Paper ““Managing the Nuclear Legacy””.The recent leak of liquid at Thorp, where neither the environment nor people were threatened, has led to Thorp being closed while the situation is assessed.The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and regulators are still looking at how best to proceed. We are going to wait for advice from them before taking a decision on the way forward.
