Section of Sellafield plant evacuated
A section of the defunct nuclear plant at Sellafield has been evacuated after a routine inspection uncovered hazardous chemicals.
A bomb-disposal unit was called into the site to deal with a "small amount" of organic peroxide, a potentially explosive chemical that must be kept cool to remain safe.<<<<<<<

The plant, which is now used only to store nuclear waste and has not produced energy for the past 17 years, has been made "non-operational", Sellafield stated.
