To ask the President of the Board of Trade what is (i) the average cooling time for reprocessed fuel rods and (ii) the effect on containment of radiation shortening the cooling time of reprocessed fuel rods has on a reprocessing plant. [7261]
Mr. Page
The cooling time for spent fuel rods prior to reprocessing is dependent on the nature of the fuel and the conditions under which it was irradiated.
