--STORY--
In one of the World's worst Atomic-Bomb disasters (reactor fire), Royal Ordnance Factory Windscale, UK - 1957, the World's largest stockpile of plutonium burned uncontrollably for 3 days.

Thousands of tonnes of plutonium-239 - Polonium-210 - Strontium-90 - Iodine-131 - Technetium-99 and Dioxin fallout were released into the Earth's atmosphere.

A secret which was denied and hidden for nearly 70 years.

The NRPB casually told the UK Government (in 2024) "the leak of radioactive water from the Sellafield site is expected to remain uncontained for at least another 30 years." 

2025, the UK government announced that the damaged site had secretly been commissioned (for the last 58 years) to reprocess a new plutonium stockpile as part of the Trident Nuclear Weapons Project, producing 2,300 tonnes per year. (1.5 kilogram of plutonium is required to make a nuclear bomb).

Sellafield  releases the same amount of radioactivity into the environment as Chernobyl every 4.5 years. One of these radioactive substances, krypton-85, causes death and skin cancer.

Despite detectable harmful radioactive contamination still being detected in neighbouring Countries (Ireland, Isle of Man and Norway,) the task to contain the radioactive leak and retrieve the dangerous radioactive waste is now underway.

The UK Public Account Committee recently revealed the annual running cost of the Sellafield site is £2 Billion Pounds a year. The cleanup costs are an estimated £121 Billion per year...

...full decommission of the site is not expected until the year 2120.
