Been thinking what if our UK nuclear plants were to ever leak?

[scrummyyummy]

I've been following the awful news about Japan and was just wondering how we would cope with a leakage from our nuclear plants. I live only about 40 miles from the Sizewell B and I have to admit, it does give me slight jitters to think about any potential accidents. I think I'm getting more neurotic as I get older.............

I'm not old enough to remember it being called Windscale, it's just one of those useless pieces on info that stay stuck ini the brain-cell

AND you never offered any of us a biccy, shame

Taking a realistic attitude is not the same as ignoring a problem. As I mentioned, there are drills in place for all this sort of stuff, so insults are inappropriate. As is worrying about vanishing small risks, yet accepting much larger ones on a regular basis.

Sorry

I was thinking of the Windscale/Sellafield accident in the 50's and got my Sellafields and Sizewells mixed up!

Anyway I do know a lot of the radioactivity settled on the Merseyside area; destroyed the docks, turned some people into musical geniuses and made everybody else unfit for work.

I remember doing radioactivity tests at St Bees Head,just down the coast from Windscale/Sellafield,as part of a Geology course in the 80's.
The needle went off the scale on our monitoring equipment :-S
