"Mr President, I should like to mention the decision taken late last week by the British Government to sell the British Nuclear Group and put it into private ownership. This would mean that the Sellafield nuclear facility would end up in private ownership. Considering that 80% of all British nuclear waste is held in Sellafield and that it can process 5000 tonnes of waste per year – about one third of the world’s waste – and considering the serious questions about safety at this plant for many years and the number of accidents that have taken place, I would like to know what guarantees the British Government can give concerned parties and the people of Ireland that the highest safety standards will be met while this plant is being operated in private hands.
One could argue that it could not get any worse and it should go into private hands. However, it is only right that the British Government should give categoric assurances that the highest possible safety standards will be met, because this issue is of huge concern to the people of Ireland and to many others."@en1
