Berlin - Germany said Wednesday yesterday it was suspending shipments of Mox nuclear fuel from Britain's Sellafield reprocessing centre because of safety concerns.
In London, a spokesman for BNFL, which runs the Sellafield plant, said the suspension was "a bit academic". "It does not mean much at this stage. We are not actually producing any Mox fuel at this moment," he said.
Sellafield has been at the centre of a global nuclear power scandal in recent weeks because of the alleged falsification of records at the plant.
