Examination of Witnesses (Questions 520 - 523)

WEDNESDAY 27 JANUARY 2010 (afternoon)

DR CARL CLOWES AND MR JIM DUFFY

  Q520  Mr Anderson: Is there any formal evidence that shows it?

  Dr Clowes: I will refer that back to my colleague but I would certainly suggest that there is evidence. Hugh Richards is a very credible authority, I am sure he would not have said that otherwise.

  Mr Duffy: If I could answer that, the NRA, the Nuclear Regulators in America, have written about this, it is on their website as far as I know.

  Q521  Mr Anderson: Could you send that?

  Dr Clowes: Certainly.

  Q522  Dr Whitehead: We have run out of time as far as questions are concerned. Mr Duffy, you very kindly said that you would send further information to the Committee; we would be grateful to receive that through the Committee clerk.

  Mr Duffy: Sure.

  Q523  Dr Whitehead: Also Mr Anderson a moment ago mentioned the question of data relating to the hotness of the fuel and the radioactivity, so if that could be sent to us I would be grateful. Thank you very much Mr Clowes and Mr Duffy for your evidence this afternoon.

  Mr Duffy: Thank you.
