SELLAFIELD has paid out £11 million in the last year to the 17 directors who run the site – that’s almost £2 million more than in the previous 12 months.

Have your say

all this talk about bonouses, pay rises,and overtime,why cant smp look in the direction of the west cumberland hospital,after the sad events in japan and all the medical treatment needed for those poor people and workers,sellafield as a very small fall back at the hospital if ever there was an event on there site,why cant they sponser a state of the art ward set up for radiological treatments,this ward could be dual perpose ie,out patients?so that it could be set up very quickly if sellafield neaded it(hopefully never)i would love to talk to someone from smp reguarding this,come on people help me make this happen,with big funding from smp maybe just maybe we will get a hospital that we deserve and the council should be demanding when talking across the table when smp and new investors at sellafield are talking about new build reactors,

How about the paying of superstar wages to non jobbers people with out any responsibility what so ever whilst the men and women who run the plants and have ultimate responsibility for nuclear safety get paid less, utter disgrace on behalf of the management

This makes me sick to the stomach..... These guy's won't even pay our overtime indeed they offered us food vouchers... Talk about morale being low the Pay structure on site needs a total overhaul. Disgraceful

From Â£9 million to Â£11 million is a pay rise between them of more than 22%

Slash costs, destroy the future and walk away with all the cash - whoever would have predicted it?

And all this comes on the back of commissioning facilities that don't work properly AND the Evap D fiasco.
