'Bonkers' solution for nuclear stack

摘要

The Sellafield nuclear site in Cumbria has had an eventful history spanning more than 60 years. Made up of the Windscale and adjacent Calder Hall sites, the whole 6 sq km site was renamed Sellafield in 1981. It became the world's first atomic energy power station when it was commissioned in 1956. However, in October the following year Windscale's first reactor - known as Pile 1-overheated, caught fire and released radioactive waste in what remains Britain's worst nuclear accident.
