Seems someone fucked up during a chemical audit and caused a massive panic at Britain's largest nuclear waste reprocessing site.

Seems someone fucked up during a chemical audit and caused a massive panic at Britain's largest nuclear waste reprocessing site.

This kind of thing happens pretty routinely at colleges and even some high schools. School decides to renovate or move a lab or something and whoever is in charge of boxing everything up stumbles on an ancient looking container filled with "Holy shit, RUN!". Usually some form of nitrogen.

Disappointing, no claims of 'could've been as bad as Chernobyl', 'almost catastrophic event' or mass hysteria poking. 4/10.

Up your game, Auntie Beeb.

My mind immediately went to kebab despite the title saying it wasn't. That's how conditioned I am now.

Sellafield Ltd said it was "not a radiological event" but involved a small number of canisters of solvents which had been on the site since 1992.

However, there were concerns they could become hazardous if exposed to oxygen.

An area of the site was cordoned off for most of the day, and the canisters disposed of by controlled explosion.
