Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when the UK ended production of Polonium-210; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 18th June 2015
According to departmental records, Polonium-210 was produced in the UK in the 1950s and 1960s at civilian sites for the nuclear weapons programme. There is no evidence to suggest that Polonium-210 was produced in the UK more recently than the 1960s.
