  • I have visited Drigg beach north to Seascale and Sellafield. It' a wonderfull beach and landscape a fascinating place with a nice view on Sellafield Towers.

  • I've visited Thorp in 2006 and this video doesn't do it justice, it truly is a fascinating place.

  • I wanna stand in that room 5:00 when the nuclear warste is cut into pieces.

  • Anyone tempted to move to this area because of the current job market....don't. Simulate for as long as you can by watching deliverance on loop, never going out and damaging your DNA with a UV lamp. Civilisation is an hour away and by civilisation I mean Carlisle or Barrow! :S

  • yes.. if that noise stops you DO have a problem lol my dad words in a place like this... you can see this guy's uncomfortable with that question lol!

  • @megaman2000 Which employees at Sellafield are qualified and yet can't spell technician?

    Lies, I suspect.

    Chernobyl was caused by ill-trained operatives. Core instability was known below certain power levels due the inherent positive feedback of a graphite moderated and water cooled system, and operators were forbidden from operating at low power levels.

    In contrast, modern reactors all exhibit negative feedback and are will shut down/trip automatically, given almost any situation.

    If someone fell in the cooling pool, the worst fate they would suffer would be drowning.

    Those waste containers are obviously shielding, else it would be difficult to transfer them..

  • Vitrification plant, the cells are for welding the stainless steel containers etc.
