Sellafield Completes Nuclear Waste Storage Facility

摘要

A new storage facility designed to keep nuclear waste safe and secure has been completed by Sellafield Ltd. The Encapsulated Product Store 3 (EPS3) in Cumbria, which contains more than 32,000 cubic metres of concrete and 7,300 tonnes of steel, is capable of storing 29,000 waste drums. Pete Lutwyche, Sellafield Programme Director for the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) said the completion of EPS 3 marks a "major milestone" in the decommissioning of Sellafield.
