Mr. Stunell: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) what assessment she has made of whether proper arrangements are in place in respect of nuclear material from Italy currently in the UK for (a) their repatriation to Italy in a safe and timely way and (b) their safe storage in the UK pending dispatch; and if she will make a statement; [138317] (2) what arrangements are in place for the repatriation to Italy of (a) plutonium and (b) uranium recovered in the UK by BNFL. [138319] Mr. Timms: The arrangements in place for reprocessing of overseas spent fuel contain options for return of wastes. The Government intend that such options should be exercised and that wastes arising from reprocessing be returned to the country of origin. It has been the practice of successive Governments to obtain, before a contract for the reprocessing of foreign spent fuel is signed, assurances from the relevant government that it will take no legislative or regulatory steps to prevent the return of wastes arising under the contract. The adequacy of the facilities for managing those wastes is a matter for their owners and the regulatory authorities of the country concerned in accordance with the relevant legislation of that country. We have an extremely stringent regulatory framework in place to ensure that the storage and eventual repatriation of nuclear materials conforms with all national and international regulations. Ensuring the safety of activities at nuclear installations is the highest priority for the Government and everyone involved in the UK civil nuclear industry.

Mr. Gardiner: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development pursuant to his answer of 1 September 2003, to the hon. Member for Edinburgh West (John Barrett), Official Report, column 809W, if he will make a statement on the work of the task force set up to remove radioactive material removed from the civil nuclear facility at al-Tuwaitha in Iraq. [138617] Mr. Rammell: I have been asked to reply. The findings of the inspection team which assessed the extent and impact of the looting of the storage drums and containers from Al Tuwaitha has been reported by the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The inspection team found that approximately 200 containers, used for storing low- enriched uranium, had been removed and the contents dispersed. The quantity and type of compounds dispersed were not found to be sensitive from a proliferation point of view. The site has now been secured and the radioactive material sealed in concrete. A second task force, consisting of the Iraqi Ministry of Health, Ministry of the Environment, World Health Organisation (WHO), Coalition Provisional Authority, IAEA and NGOs was convened to address the potential risk to public health caused by the residual radioactive materials within the looted containers. As a result, the MoH, MoE and WHO have initiated a survey, through local public health centres, to assess and monitor the population potentially affected. The survey, still in its preliminary phase, has been disrupted by the impact of the bombing of the UN HQ on 19 August 2003 and has yet to be completed. The UK Government has provided £6 million to WHO in 2003 to support WHOs sectoral lead in health in Iraq.

Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what requirements the Environment Agency has put in place to prevent environmental damage arising from the storage at Hartlepool of ships from the US Naval Reserve. [139208] Mr. Morley :[holding answer 17 November 2003]: On 12 November, the Environment Agency used its emergency powers under section 43(4) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to modify Able UK's existing waste management licence to include conditions which: (a) Impose restrictions so that ships cannot be dismantled, decommissioned, cut or broken at the Able facility. (b) Require the installation of floating booms across the dock entrance and around waste vessels that are berthed in the dock. The booms must be inspected daily, and should oil be identified within the boomed area, it must be removed within two hours. (c) Require that no removal of bilge or ballast water from waste ships shall take place except in accordance with a method statement submitted to and approved in writing by the Agency. (d) While waste ships are in the dock, sampling of the dock water and estuary water upstream and downstream of the dock must take place weekly. Results must be submitted to Agency within four weeks. In the event that any results exceed specified trigger levels, the Agency must be notified within 24 hours. In addition to these conditions imposed on Able UK, the Agency will carry out its own unannounced site inspections--initially at a weekly frequency. The Agency will carry out its own environmental monitoring, as well as auditing the monitoring carried out by Able UK.
