Report

Investigation of allegations of incidents and malpractices at British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL), Sellafield, for Greenpeace, UK

Description

The allegations covering 1982-1988, were made by three BNFL employees and include serious charges of non-reporting of incidents involving the release of radioactive materials and malpractices relating to health and safety. It is concluded that whilst some of the allegations are unsubstantiated some are substantial and need independent corroboration and further explanation by BNFL and investigation by the UK Nuclear Installation Inspectorate.
