Scotland's Hunterston Station Blames Release of Waste on Operator Error

摘要

Operator error was to blame for the unauthorised release of contaminated water into the Clyde from Hunterston B Power Station in November. Radioactive waste was discharged for half an hour longer than scheduled during the incident, which was immediately reported to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency. Hunterston B, owned by eDF Energy, is authorised by SEPA to release aqueous radioactive waste into the Firth of Clyde.
