Sellafield (Site)

Sellafield is a nuclear site located on the coast of Cumbria, England. Originally established in the 1940s, it has played a significant role in the UK's nuclear energy and research programs. The site includes a nuclear power station, reprocessing facilities, and storage for radioactive waste. While it has contributed to energy production, Sellafield has also faced challenges, including environmental concerns and safety measures regarding radioactive materials. Today, efforts focus on decommissioning and managing waste, while ensuring safety and environmental protection for the surrounding communities and ecosystems.
