The company managing work at the Sellafield nuclear site in the UK announced that having “ramped down” operations because of the covid-19 pandemic key workers are now resuming some of the most important high hazard and risk reduction work.
Sellafield Ltd said reprocessing work and construction work on major projects had been paused to focus on key services needed to keep the site safe and secure.
It has now said “cautious first steps” are being made in restarting some of the highest priority work at the site, in Cumbria, northwest England.
