Sellafield Nuclear Facility

Sellafield is a large nuclear site in northwest England that handles the UK's spent nuclear fuel and radioactive materials. It was originally built for nuclear power production but now focuses on managing waste, decommissioning old facilities, and reprocessing used fuel to recover valuable materials. The site employs advanced safety and environmental measures to protect people and the environment from radiation risks. While historically associated with nuclear power, today Sellafield plays a crucial role in waste management and nuclear decommissioning, supporting the country's move toward safer, more sustainable nuclear technology.
