EU judges to rule on Sellafield complaint

EUROPEAN judges are due to rule today on the legality of the Government’s decision to complain to the UN about the Sellafield nuclear plant.

The Government launched a UN action in 2001 over marine pollution from the site, on Britain’s west coast.

A UN Tribunal responded with recommendations for helping solve the long-running and bitter Anglo-Irish dispute over the environmental impact of the Sellafield site.
