- The eighth, Sizewell B, is a pressurised water reactor (PWR), a design and technology widely adopted internationally.
- The level of contribution has been benchmarked against comparable international costs for spent fuel management with a view to covering all the future costs of PWR fuel.
- For the future liabilities BE will contribute GBP 150000 for every tonne of PWR fuel loaded into Sizewell B after the Restructuring Effective Date.
- As far as the uncontracted liabilities associated with historic AGR spent fuel are concerned, the United Kingdom submits that these liabilities relate solely to AGR fuel loaded into reactors before the Restructuring Effective Date. The liabilities associated with PWR spent fuel concern all liabilities associated with PWR fuel loaded into the Sizewell B reactor.
- stage 3: dismantling the reactor to allow the site to be reused (at least 85 years after the end of generation for AGR stations and up to 50 years for PWR stations).
- The remaining costs are mostly related to the unavoidable costs linked to the construction of the final repository for both historic and future PWR spent fuel, which will be done on the Sizewell B site.
- Uncontracted liabilities principally relate to final disposal of spent fuel, plutonium, uranium and wastes arising from the reprocessing of AGR fuel, the storage and final disposal of spent PWR fuel, including the construction of a dry store at Sizewell B, and the storage and disposal of operational wastes.
- GBP 150000, indexed to RPI, for every tonne of PWR fuel loaded into the Sizewell B reactor after the date where all the conditions precedent to the Restructuring Effective Date. According to the UK authorities GBP 150000 per tonne is comparable to international costs for spent fuel management;
- As regards Measure A, the Commission was concerned that the costs related to the decommissioning of the nuclear plants could arise until 2086 and that the financing of the costs associated with the management of PWR spent fuel loaded into the Sizewell B reactor of BE was also open-ended.
- There are other back-end liabilities, which may or may not be associated with the same spent fuel, for which no contract for services currently exists (uUncontracted liabilities). Uncontracted liabilities principally relate to final disposal of spent fuel, plutonium, uranium and wastes arising from the reprocessing of AGR fuel, the storage and final disposal of spent PWR fuel, including the construction of a dry store at Sizewell B, and the storage and disposal of operational wastes.
