Revealed: £2bn cost of failed Sellafield plant

An internal report revealing the full extent of the failure of the Sellafield Mixed-Oxide (MOX) plant concluded that the facility was „not fit for purpose“ and its performance over a decade was „very poor“. The report is embarrassing for the Government which is proposing to build a new MOX plant at Sellafield to deal with Britain’s civil plutonium stockpile – the biggest in the world.
