Movie plot threats always seem "very high". But they are not worth
spending serious money defending against since they are far cheaper and
easier ways to cause more disruption.

Government disagrees, which is the stated reason for their attempts
to reduce the volume of crap stored in the high level waste tanks.
When one reads between the mild language in
http://www.hse.gov.uk/nuclear/llc/2008/sellafield3.htm Section
2.5, it is clear there is still concern over the slow progress of
reducing the volume of this crap. This is the dirty end of nuclear
electricity generation, something proponents are not keen to talk
about.

This is cr@p, most of the waste is from the bomb program and not power
generation.
