Source:  

Sellafield Limited has been fined 拢700,000 for sending bags of radioactive waste to a landfill site in Cumbria. The bags should have been sent to a specialist facility that treats and stores low level radioactive waste. Carlisle Crown Court heard that a number of significant management and operational failings at Sellafield Limited led to the incorrect disposal of the waste at the Lillyhall landfill site in Workington. The error was caused by the wrong configuration of a new monitor which passed the bags as 鈥榞eneral鈥� waste making them exempt from strict disposal controls.
