Sellafield

Sellafield is a large nuclear site in northwest England, originally developed for nuclear power and fuel reprocessing. It processes used nuclear fuel, extracting useful materials and managing radioactive waste. Over decades, it has been a center for nuclear energy, research, and waste management, with facilities for handling highly radioactive materials safely. Today, Sellafield is focused on decommissioning old plant infrastructure, managing radioactive waste, and ensuring environmental safety, playing a key role in the UK’s nuclear industry and waste management efforts.
