The Minister of State, Department of Energy and Climate Change (Charles Hendry)

In December 2011 the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) published its consultation response document on plutonium management.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change has agreed to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) participating in a series of swaps of plutonium material which will result in the NDA taking ownership of around four tonnes of plutonium stored in the UK previously owned by certain German utilities. Some of this plutonium was subject to contract for manufacturing MOX fuel in the now closed Sellafield MOX plant.
