Sellafield was formerly known as the Windscale nuclear facility. Initially established in the 1950s for the production of plutonium for nuclear weapons, it later evolved to include civilian nuclear power generation and reprocessing activities. The site gained notoriety after a significant fire in 1957, which was one of the UK's worst nuclear accidents. Today, it is mainly focused on decommissioning and waste management.
