Buried within the link you provided was this:

“The infective agent had already been shown to be incredibly resistant at high temperatures.” he said. “Anyone who says this process will definitely destroy the infectivity is really very silly. We don’t know. The members of the advisory committee are there to give the Government reassuring advice. They are either ignorant of the facts or just puppets.” Science’s only known way of testing that material is infection-free is to inject it into an animal’s brain and see if the disease develops over the animal’s life span. In the best analysis with calves this would take five years to achieve.

Very disconcerting for communities threatened with applications for, or living near excising cattle incinerators, is the knowledge that according to research data in the hands of the Government and the EA, even temperatures as high as 1,500 degrees centigrade have failed to destroy prions.


Perhaps more disturbing was the info related to the release of organochlorines during the process of incineration.
