- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:Under what conditions they would allow the thermal oxide reprocessing plant at Sellafield to reopen.
- Answer

A decision on whether to reopen the thermal oxide reprocessing plant (thorp) rests with the board of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. The Health and Safety Executive's Nuclear Installations Inspectorate (NII) will issue a consent to allow thorp to reopen when satisfied that British Nuclear Group Sellafield Ltd (BNGSL) has done all the work necessary to ensure it can be restarted safely. This will include satisfactorily clearing all the NII's recommendations arising from its investigation of the incident in April 2005 and completing any plant modifications necessary to ensure safety.
