The UK's nuclear waste needs a permanent home - but finding a community willing to take it is tricky.

One of UK’s oldest nuclear waste storage silos is currently leaking radioactive liquid into the ground. That is a “recurrence of a historic leak” that Sellafield Ltd, the company that operates the site, says first started in the 1970s.

Sellafield has also faced questions about its working culture and adherence to safety rules. The company is currently awaiting sentencing after it pleaded guilty, in June, to charges related to cyber-security failings.

    Its cool. Just go back to one the bazillion previous threads on nuclear waste disposal. There was a dude who said they’d gladly put all nuclear waste under their house since its so safe in modern times. Just contact that one, all good then.
