Christine, Sellafield has a very long history of problems. The Brits are funny. The plant used to be called Windscale. They had a big fire in (I think) 1957 and released a lot of radioactive material. Maybe they thought if they renamed it, people would forget about the fire. I don't know if they even have a reactor there! It's a reprocessing facility for spent fuel. The Brits used to just dump radioactive waste into the nearby ocean through a long pipe. As a case study of the potential evils, it's classic. But it really has very little to do with U.S. nuclear power plant safety. Why are you looking for a particular U.S. reactor to study? David
