Chernobyl part 2. All the nuclear waste is being thrown into the Irish Sea and causing cancer. This PowerPlant was a very stupid idea. You's could've atleast built it where there was no nearby inhabitants.

I went there once, I brung some of my freinds, at first one of my freinds passed out after seeing an eight legged skunk and the rest started glowing and vomiting, yet I came prepared, with a jacket, wchich for some reason made everything in the atmosphere unable to get to my blood, exempt for a little bit of uranium.
It was a great experience, I defiantly reccomend a visit with your freinds or family!

Overall nice place, I must say, me and my family had a good time. I do have a very small complaint about the area, as the smell was kinda strong. The wildlife we spoke to were friendly. A wonderful place, I recommend visting.

nice

I'm completely fighting my conscience over this site. In the end the site gets one star - my description will explain why..

Sellafield is a nuclear waste processing site and also has nuclear piles and has the potential (inserted a dad joke) to generate electricity.
The site is old - its origins go back to the start of the nuclear arms race in WW2 (1939-45). Originally the site was created to convert one metallic element to another using nuclear bombardment within a nuclear pile.
Long story short and add some lies from a supposedly trustworthy government (which still happens..) and the site is what you see now.
There are some awesome Youtube videos about Sellafield and I encourage you to watch them.

Sellafield is a very toxic site. Officials knew it would be and for a very long time. This site will likely exist forever as a protected site, even once all of the buildings are torn down.

Don't believe the hype and claims that nuclear power is the best - it isn't. Aside from the toxic legacy, sites such as this are mostly used to create weapons grade nuclear weapons. We don't want a single nuclear weapon to exist but for some strange reason governments want to hang onto them, even if a handful will destroy the planet. Looking at you USA..

Most UK nuclear sites had a visitor center. Sellafield had one and I actually visited it. Following 9/11 and other junk they closed the visitor sites. Heck I doubt you could even get a visit to a coal fired power station these days!

Anyway, Sellafield is closing. The UK is building newer sites. This one will exist in some (flat!) form sooner or later and at great cost to health and wealth.
Cumbria, where Sellafield stands, is a stunning glacially shaped part of the UK. If you ever visit Cumbria I positively encourage you to look beyond the Lake District area and explore the coastal parts. It's well worth it.

Remember coming here as a kid and just walking in, the visitor centre had exhibits with buttons to press and all was jolly. Now, the place is surrounded by barbed / electric wire, CCTV and Police being paid to harass locals who dare venture too near the entrance.

It is unfortunate that the Sellafield visitors center was closed! It was a very interesting and very modern information center! Where will there now be a place to study the tragic experience of the nuclear accident at Sellafield? There is not enough money to think about the future, as always ...

If you dare to venture to Sellafield I recommend packing lots of RadAway and Rad-X as the area is heavily irradiated. Furthermore beware of the super mutants and feral ghouls hence it is wise to pack a stealth boy so that you can render yourself almost invisible. Despite the dangerous environment I enjoyed sniping feral ghouls with my trusty hunting rifle and searching for valuable items.

No deathclaws have been seen in the area so far but the brotherhood of steel patrols have informed me that there has been an increase in the sightings of mirelurks therefore upon venturing to this area take caution.

BEWARE OF THE MIRELURKS!!!

Seems safe enough if you believe BBC4 but I'm still dead against storing nuclear waste on site for years on end no matter how much it's monitored and sealed in concrete or mixed with other stuff to make it semi safe. It's ultimately deadly for thousands of years to come and for future generations to deal with.

Furthermore why do they build these places near AONB's or national parks? Probably because of NIMBY's kicking up a fuss or in case there is an accident of sorts and the fall out on built up areas wouldn't be too great and easier to cover up if not already exposed by the media.

I feel tempted to say 3.6 not great not terrible.

Hmm, how to review this place...
Well, I went here to see Britain's Chernobyl, or what might have been. Wish I had a geiger counter with me.
There is some kind of nuclear waste pipe polluting the sea but as its not something I have any first hand information on, so I can't comment.

This place has a creepy vibe to it but I'd put that down to knowing its chequered past but I'll sum it up by saying its just boring.

A few menacing looking buildings ringed by barbed wire fences, with "no stop" road markings. I didn't see any security though. It would be nice to have some kind of visitor centre, as one other reviewer said used to exist.

Ive always said I needed eyes on the back on my head, my wish came true after my visit here 12 years ago, I wasn't expecting the 7 extra arms but they do make the house work 100x easier. It made my life so much better!!

Been working here to provide for my family and only had a few small incidents where the place nearly blew up.

Hot co-worker called Mindy made it hard to stay loyal to my wife.
Also free doughnuts in the break room

Very nice here.

Very nice here.
All in all a great holiday. My friends said, I'm really radiant with recovery when I got home.
Only I came home with a third hand I had not booked (why 3 stars). Otherwise a great wellness hotel for the whole family.

5 stars!!

I went here recently to have a nice vacation away from work. Totally did the trick! I've been in the hospital for 6 months now. That extra eye is really coming in handy.

Fantastic spa treatments. My skin is radiant and shiny after a weekend away with the family. My youngest son did, however, grow an extra lower limb and now looks more like the Manx flag than a human child (this is why i'm giving 4/5 stars). In summary, a great trip which i'd recommend to anyone especially those wanting a New Year body transformation.
