"My father worked at Sellafield, I work at Sellafield and I want my sons to work at Sellafield" is a statement sometimes overheard in West Cumbria. By implication, work means reprocessing, a traditional operation carried out by British Nuclear Fuels at Sellafield. To those of us who have opposed this operation for a multitude of reasons (CORE has campaigned since 1980 to stop reprocessing), that view of past, present and future employment prospects in the area has little merit or force when held against the realities of reprocessing, its economics and environmental impacts.
