Just watched this programme having taped it last week. What a shocking eye opening look into how our and others Nuclear waste is stored.

Anyone else watch it if not try catchup TV. Worth seeing.

    Storage used to be a scandal when the complex was called Windscale..

    But in 1981 they solved the problems of Windscale by changing it's name to Sellafield. 

    And the public was fooled again.

    K Surprised

    I can safely say I have never met anyone with whom I have discussed the Windscale / Sellafield issue that was fooled by the name change

    Scary stuff. When I saw them selling lobsters direct off the boats in Ravenglass, I wondered if they glow in the dark.

    The site safety seemed a bit cover-up- Ish to me. A Panarama special.

    I have always thought that our first nuclear disaster will be self inflicted from one of these power stations, rather than as a result of war.

    Now we have the Chinese behind our next one......not known for their quality products, are they?

    More than just rice that gets fried. Glad it is far away from home.

    Britain's has already had a number of nuclear accidents, the worst was a fire at Windscale (now Sellerfield)  on the 10th October 1957 This was a very severe event and the milk from many miles around the area was not allowed to enter the food chain for a number of months.

    Compared to other countries UK nuclear safety is quite good

    I agree but tis a fact of life that generating electricity has a cost whether it be from coal, oil, wind & water
