@JoeSmyth10@IrishTimes True in that nuclear power generation has significantly changed since, particularly when it comes to radioactive waste management. But that’s not the point you initially made. Also, if it was clear cut in being without risk to human health Germany wouldn’t have phased it out.
@JoeSmyth10@IrishTimes It was dual-purpose. The MSSS leaks were more closely connected to the nuclear power generation programme than to weapons-plutonium production. You’re saying I’m fear mongering, but your point that Sellafield was ‘totally different to power generation’ is frankly misleading.
@JoeSmyth10@IrishTimes What? Sellafield was absolutely involved nuclear power generation subsequent to the original purpose you mention. Calder Hall on the Sellafield site would be a prominent example, which generated electricity for 47 years before shutting down in 2003.
