No danger from any Sellafield leak: report

International experts have told the Government a radioactive leak at the Sellafield nuclear site would cause no observable health effects in the country.

The independent team of nuclear physicists, chemists, and engineers used previously secret data from the facility in Cumbria to declare the low risk.

But they found some severe incidents at Sellafield or the low-level waste repository have the potential to do significant damage to Ireland’s tourism, seafood, and farming industries because of concerns over radioactivity.
