Study concludes of UK stocks of Uranium and Plutonium

The NDA, the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, have concluded a study on stocks of uranium and plutonium present in the UK. These stocks have built up through enrichment, nuclear fuel manufacture and reprocessing in the UK.

One finding is that the stocks could power three 1000 MWe nuclear reactors for their entire 60-year operational lifetime.

Compared to coal-fired generation that could avoid the emission of over
1 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide.
