Strategy for the Environmental Regulation of Remediation and Decommissioning at Sellafield

摘要

The Sellafield site on the coast of Cumbria in north west England represents a major part of the UK’s nuclear legacy. Sellafield, which includes the smaller Windscale site within its boundary, is a large complex nuclear chemical facility. Sellafield and Windscale have supported the civil nuclear power programme since the late 1940s and in the early days were involved in plutonium production for the UK’s nuclear weapons programme.
