One of UK’s oldest nuclear waste storage silos is currently leaking radioactive liquid into the ground. That is a “recurrence of a historic leak” that Sellafield Ltd, the company that operates the site, says first started in the 1970s.

Sellafield has also faced questions about its working culture and adherence to safety rules. The company is currently awaiting sentencing after it pleaded guilty, in June, to charges related to cyber-security failings.

    Pfft. No worries, just dump it wherever all the poo is washing ashore.

    Then when people try to complain about the poo, you say “that area is off limits anyway”. Two birds, one stone, as they say.
