Proceeding contribution from Michael Jack (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Radioactive Waste Management Report.


Radioactive Waste Management Report

I welcome the Secretary of State’s statement because it addresses not only the issue of legacy waste but some of the underpinning matters affecting the future of our nuclear industry. In his statement, he mentioned the phrase, ““geologically suitable area””. He acknowledged that the Nirex list of locations may be dead, but can he say more about the process to be undertaken to determine which areas will be ““geologically suitable”” for disposal, bearing in mind Nirex’s work and that the answer to that question will be profound for those who wish to volunteer?
