Abstract :
At the outset of the Inquiry I posed three questions which appeared to me to be sufficient to cover all issues which had then been indicated. These questions were: 1. Should oxide fuel from United Kingdom reactors be reprocessed in this country at all, whether at Windscale or elsewhere? 2. If yes, should such reprocessing be carried on at Windscale? 3. If yes, should the reprocessing plant be about double the estimated size required to handle United Kingdom oxide fuels and be used, as to the spare capacity, for reprocessing foreign fuels? These three questions still appear to me to cover all the issues raised at the Inquiry, numerous as they were Mr. Justice Parker, Windscale Report
