Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plantGreenpeace described today's announcement by the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate (NII) as "A shocking indictment of Sellafield's continuing safety crisis."


In particular the NII reported today that BNFL has so far failed to fully implement 25 of the 28 Sellafield site safety recommendations the NII made last year, and that it expects full completion to take until the end of 2002.

Greenpeace also called on all countries operating nuclear powered vessels to withdraw them from service because of the inherent risks posed by the technology.

Greenpeace today attacked the government's newly released strategy on radioactive substances as an outrage.


"This announcement is pure spin" said Greenpeace nuclear campaigner, Pete Roche, he continued

"The government are saying that they are achieving 'major cuts' in radioactive discharges when in fact what they are doing is failing to meet the commitments they made to the international community to reduce radioactive discharges"
