EDM438 - Nuclear Terrorism And The International Transport Of Plutonium
Proposed by David Chaytor on 17/03/1999.
That this House notes the impending departure of British ships transporting plutonium to Japan; is extremely concerned at the increasing threat posed by international terrorists to the security of these shipments; further notes that neither the British nor the Japanese armed forces will be responsible for guarding the shipments on their journey from Sellafield to Takahama; notes the concern of members of the US Congress that this level of protection is below the minimum specified in the 1988 US-Japan Agreement and far below that then considered necessary by the Pentagon; understands that the ships will be excluded both from the Suez canal and from a zone extending 200 miles from the South African coast because of the terrorist threat; is seriously concerned about the development of an international trade in plutonium and mixed oxide fuel which would increase the frequency of such shipments; and calls on the Government to initiate a full public debate about the security and environmental implications of the international plutonium trade following the forthcoming publication of the House of Lords Select Committee report on Radioactive Waste Management.
