To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland why unreprocessed highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel is being put in dry storage at Torness and Hunterston; and if he will make a statement.

Any firm proposal that spent AGR fuel be put in dry storage on Scottish Nuclear Ltd's generating sites would require the Secretary of State's consent in terms of section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989. No application for such consent has been submitted.
