Sellafield is located in Cumbria and has an area of 262 hectares covered by the nuclear site licence. It is a large, complex nuclear chemical facility that has supported the nuclear power programme since the 1940s, and has undertaken work for a number of organisations including United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and the Ministry of Defence (MoD). Operations at Sellafield include processing of fuels removed from nuclear power stations; Mixed Oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication; and storage of nuclear materials and radioactive wastes. The area around the site is environmentally sensitive.
Calder Hall is located on the Sellafield site in Cumbria. It was the world's first commercial nuclear power station and started generating electricity in 1956. Generation ceased in 2003.
