Sellafield - Contaminated Water
Posted: 7th September 2025
Sellafield plan to abstract and dispose of 40 cubic metres an hour of contaminated water into the Rivers Calder and Ehen directly (via the Calder Interceptor Sewer) and indirectly (via groundwater and run off) for the next seven years. A legal challenge by nuclear safety volunteer group, Lakes Against Nuclear Dump with the help of top environmental lawyers, Leigh Day is threatened against the Environment Agency’s rubber-stamping of this abstraction and disposal of polluted water for the purpose of dewatering to aid construction of the Box Encapsulation Plant Project (BEPPS2) at Sellafield.
