well i think sellafeild would be better off giving us a premiership football club instead of putting money into a evacuation plan

I'm very glad that Copeland have focus at at plan that a serious radiation incident at Sellafield might have to be made soon. In the Nordic countries we are worried about what the the consequences may be. A report from Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority said that a hypothetical accident at Sellafield. The scenario considered involves an explosion and fire at the B215 facility resulting in a 1 % release of the total HAL inventory of radioactive waste with a subsequent air transport and deposition in Norway. Air transport modelling is based on real meteorological data show that it may be 10 times Tjernobyl for Norway. If you want the link to the report, please mail me.

Hey - we in the Nordic countries are pleased that our focus on safety and possible consequences. NRPA from Norway has prepared a report that focuses on a hypothetical accident at Sellafield and consequences in Norway

West Cumberland Hospital did not struggle with the shootings incident at all. On what are you basing your evidence? This was classed as a major incident for the hospital and was managed appropriately and without difficulty.

Well said Charles, it is just a shame that Coun Woodburn and the rest of the council are not smart enough to figure out that. We don't have the infrastructure in Cumbria to deal with such a major incident. Where would casualties be taken? The local hospital struggled with the Derrick Bird incident.

Why bother? With the roads we have there is no speedy way to evacuate thousands of people. Our politicians should be making sure we have suitable roads before they sell our lives for a rugby ground.
