answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2016 answer text <p>The Nuclear Warhead Capability Sustainment Programme (NWCSP) commenced following an announcement on 19 July 2005 (Official report col 59WS). The current Senior Responsible Owner is Dr Paul Hollinshead. The key stakeholders in the NWCSP are the Ministry of Defence and the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE). Since 1 April 2008, financial planning for AWE has made no distinction between management and operation costs and those associated with the NWCSP. Expenditure at AWE since 2005 is as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>£ million at outturn prices</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2005-06</p></td><td><p>493</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2006-07</p></td><td><p>687</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2007-08</p></td><td><p>894</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008-09</p></td><td><p>800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009-10</p></td><td><p>870</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>944</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>941</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>861</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>961</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>998</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Spending plans beyond this Parliament will be set as part of the Government’s spending review process.</p><p> </p><p>The NWCSP draws on the skills of all 5,000 AWE employees. No scientists from the US national nuclear weapons laboratories are seconded to the programme, but a US engineer and serviceman are seconded. The information on how many AWE scientists have visited the US national nuclear weapons laboratories as part of the programme is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 16/06/2016 16:36:48 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

uin	39427
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2016 answer text <p>During Sizewell B’s periodic shutdown, inspectors from the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) examined the Licensee’s arrangements for maintenance activities, reviewed test and inspection records and inspected the plant and equipment. A thorough examination (or in-service inspection) of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) was completed by EDF to confirm that it remains in good condition. An ONR team of technical specialists examined the results of the in-service inspections and they are satisfied that they demonstrate the continued integrity of the RPV and that the hydrogen flaking present in the Doel 3 and Tihange 2 reactors in Belgium is not evident at Sizewell B.</p><p> </p><p>ONR inspectors did not identify any issues that would affect the safety case for the restart of the Sizewell B reactor and its safe operation up to the next planned statutory periodic shutdown in 2017, and issued clearance for it to restart on 31 May 2016. ONR expects to publish its Project Assessment Report, detailing this decision, on its website.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 09/06/2016 15:21:35 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
