Copeland MP Jamie Reed has secured a debate in Parliament to highlight the need to turn the stockpile of plutonium at Sellafield into nuclear fuel.
The debate will be in Westminster Hall - a third chamber, used for members of parliament to raise local issues.
The MP said: "I have approximately 140 tonnes of plutonium sitting in my constituency and there's no plan for it. It's not a waste, it's an asset, and the longer we leave it the harder it is to do anything with it."
A minister will have to reply to the points Mr Reed raises tomorrow morning.

Cumbria's children services officials say they accept they didn't do enough to protect other children after the death of Barrow toddler Poppi Worthington.
The 13-month-old died suddenly in December 2012, and in January a family court judge said he believed she'd been sexually assaulted by her father Paul Worthington. He denies this and has never been charged.
Today a serious case review said social workers should have kept a closer eye on Poppi's family because of a history of "intergenerational experiences of neglect and abuse".
The review does not cover events after the child's death, but Cumbria's director of children's services John Macilwraith said: "We recognise and accept that we did not do enough and quickly enough to support and remove the sibling children."
Quote Message"The learning for Cumbria County Council is how do we support all of our partners and work better to make improvements to our services for Cumbria's most vulnerable children."

Heavy showers could develop in some places around Cumbria this afternoon. A yellow weather warning, the lowest level of alert, has been published saying the downpours could cause local flooding, external. Temperatures could reach up to 19C (66F).
The death of a Barrow toddler could not have been foreseen or prevented, a senior official said after a serious case review was published today.
The report was into the death of Poppi Worthington - although it refers to her only as Child N. It says her mother's background and the history of social services involvement with her family, were not seen as risk factors.
Afterwards Gill Rigg, who chairs Cumbria's Local Safeguarding Children Board said: "The serious case review, which I would stress was independently authored by somebody who had absolutely nothing to do with the agencies in Cumbria, has concluded that there was nothing that could have been forseen about her death."
Details of the chaotic family environment experienced by Poppi Worthington's mother were revealed in the Serious Case Review.
It found there were elements of her own childhood that had been difficult and traumatic.
Her family had "intergenerational experiences of neglect and abuse" and frequent contacts with children’s social care and other services.
It added:
Quote Message(Poppi's mother) had experienced significant historical traumas and loss which were, in themselves, clear indicators that her parenting may have been compromised and that her children could be at risk."

This report into the death of Poppi Worthington sheds light on how midwives, doctors and health visitors all failed to piece together various factors which should have rung alarm bells.
Poppi's mother had a troubled upbringing, and gave birth to her first child at 16. It was put into care.
Her fifth child was six weeks old when she became pregnant by Paul Worthington with twins, Poppi and her sibling.
The Serious Case Review says no-one asked whether her repeated pregnancies and relationship with a man 17 years her senior were cause for concern.
Poppi seemed like a happy child, but this exterior was never questioned by professionals. And her parents never sought treatment for her after she broke her leg.
All of this led up to her sudden death after being apparently sexually abused by her father.
Now, as prosecutors consider whether to bring charges against him, and a new inquest is due to be held later this year, this may be one more step to finding out why she died.
Poppi Worthington, the Barrow toddler whose death led to criticism of Cumbria's social services and police, suffered a broken leg which was only diagnosed in the post-mortem exam, according to a serious case review published today, external.
The report says the fractures were healing - but neither of her parents had sought medical help for the incident that could have caused them.
A review showed several other children in the family had been treated for injuries while they were still infants.
While none of these were suspected to be deliberate, they were all treated in isolation, so they did not trigger further inquiries which might have resulted in Poppi's family getting appropriate support.
The report recommends there should be a policy regarding injuries to "immobile infants".
Cumbria's Local Safeguarding Children Board, external, the body which oversees the welfare of the county's youngsters, says there've been many changes in the four years since the death of Poppi Worthington at the age of 13 months.
It says the various agencies now work more closely together through a system called a Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub or MASH.
And Cumbria County Council's children services department, which had been rated inadequate by inspectors, is now one grade higher, described as "requiring improvement".
The statement also said much more was now known about child sexual exploitation, and the agencies might today have made "an appropriate response".
The Poppi Worthington case has been long and complex.
Here are some of the key dates in the four-year battle to ascertain exactly how and why she died in a house in Barrow in December 2012.

Poppi Worthington, the Barrow toddler whose death prompted a judge to criticise Cumbria's police and social services, was born into a family which had been in contact with social services for three generations, according to a serious case review published today, external.
Poppi's mother cannot be identified to protect her and other children in the family. But the report praises her courage in meeting the report's author, Clare Hyde MBE.
Cumbria's social services had said the family was not known to them before Poppi's death. However, the report reveals an older child had attracted attention from officials, as had Poppi's mother and grandmother.
But despite this background, the report says Poppi's mother was seen as a "competent and coping mother" of subsequent children. It recommends social workers should in future use family history and genealogy "to identify patterns of risk".
It says such a background and childhood could have "compromised her capacity to parent.".

Poppi Worthington's mother's "capacity to parent" could "have been compromised by her own childhood experiences", according to a report.
Despite this the family was offered no help or support by the authorities at the time, the Serious case Review into her death found.
The report says that in future all professionals and authorities need to show more "professional curiosity" and they need to better share information about family histories which could lead to earlier interventions.
The county council also says that many changes have been put in place since Poppi's death in December 2012.
Image source, Family photoPoppi's father Paul Worthington, who was accused by a judge of sexually assaulting her before her death, did not take part in the Serious Case Review.
Back in January Mr Justice Peter Jackson, sitting at Liverpool Crown Court, ruled that - on the balance of probabilities - Mr Worthington "perpetrated a penetrative ... assault on Poppi".
In his judgement, external, he said he could not accept Mr Worthington's evidence relating to the collapse of Poppi at the family home and was "not impressed" with his account of the events leading up to her death.
Mr Worthington has always denied any wrongdoing and earlier this year issued a statement saying he did not accept the findings and had never hurt his daughter.

However, the household and family background was complex, and the mother's "capacity to parent" could "have been compromised by her own childhood experiences".
The report said that in future all professionals and authorities needed to show more "professional curiosity" and share information about family histories which could lead to earlier action.
Gill Rigg, chair of Cumbria LSCB, said: "While the review has identified important learning regarding working with families with complex histories, there is nothing to suggest that her death could have been predicted or prevented.
"If there is further learning from how agencies worked together post [Poppi's death], the LSCB will ensure this is acted upon. I am however confident that much has already changed in all of the agencies involved."
