Remember it well on tv,that was a particularly wet spring ,even by normal Cumbrian standards,lambs were all killed,but eventually came out that much of the radiation,was actually residual from the '57 fire at windscale,before the site name was changed to supposedly more friendly sellafield.
At college,welding instructor was at windscale during the fire and always remember his story about the team cutting bolts off door,one guy lighting torch,passing on to another to heat,another to start cut,another to continue etc.....
All secret at the time,production of the bomb came first,last n all ways

Continuing the Nuclear Theme

Fascinating, Rory
Bradwell is not far from me, in fact I work pretty close to it on occasions.
I went there on a school trip once! Can’t imagine that happening at a nuclear power station now? The things we got away with in the 80’s.... It was an amazing experience, alas I don’t recall as much of it as I would like, I must have been around 10 at the time? Although I distinctly remember looking out over the turbine hall as part of our tour.
It looks like this now...

Not the best pic, but they don’t exactly let you walk in the front door
It was entirely clad, in some sort of aluminium cladding, a few years ago, some astronomical cost no doubt, all part of its decommissioning.
There is a new power station planned for Bradwell, it’s in the planning stage currently, but there’s surveying type work going on around there at the moment, has been for a year or so. Biggest gripe of it all is the Chinese are set to build it, wondering if that will change now? I hope it does!

Gotta a bit of a thing for nuclear AVE ya?
Must say I'm a fan, had a tour of Heysham about 25 year ago...I worked there a week helping a mate testing masks or something. At the end the blokes said you want a tour? Took a whole afternoon. Absolutely mind blowing. Few time we had to avoid cameras etc. " Not really supposed to be here" walked the reactor floor saw the rods through about 5ft of glass etc. Proper interesting. Doubt you'd get that these days.
The one thing that impressed me was the attention to detail tbf, watched a lad Geiger counting a full truck load of scaffold planks onto a wagon.

went around Berkeley as a teenager with school ..... was very interesting ... and as said, doubt you'd get as close to stuff now as we did back then ... but was nigh on 50 years ago

At the time never heard anything about winscale but when the full facts were released about 50 years later it seems the plume of radiation went right over where I was living at the time near Rugby in warwichshire and finished just before London , but other so called experts say it covered all the uk and a lot of europe . That would explain why I glow in the dark

Not going to lie I hope it does go ahead for selfish reasons of I might be able to get a better paid job or a decent pay rise out of who I work for now as think there will be a lot of lifting gear needing testing and repairs lol
