Railways: Radioactive Materials

Ms Abbott: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many trains are assigned to the transport of nuclear flasks (a) from Bradwell and (b) Sizewell nuclear power stations to Sellafield via the Great Eastern Main Line and the North London Line; at what frequency the trains run; and if she will make a statement. [221826]

Jim Fitzpatrick: The number and frequency of future shipments of irradiated nuclear fuel flasks and the routes to be taken are an operational matter for the organisations concerned and this Department does not hold this information.

6 Oct 2008 : Column 210W

Defueling operations at Bradwell are now complete and therefore there will be no further shipments of irradiated nuclear fuel from this site.
