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


Radioactive Waste Management Report

Does my right hon. Friend intend the reconstituted CoRWM to undertake a separate assessment of the disposal of nuclear waste from new nuclear build? If so, does he also intend to develop a paradigm of what that separate assessment might consist of? I am thinking not just of the technical aspects, but of the costs that will be involved, including the opportunity costs of new nuclear waste riding on the back, as it were, of the disposal of existing nuclear waste in new sites.
