Britain’s public spending watchdog has launched an investigation into risks and costs at Sellafield, the UK’s largest and most challenging nuclear site.
The National Audit Office (NAO), which scrutinises the use of public funds, has announced it will examine whether the site, in Cumbria, northwest England, is managing and prioritising the risks and hazards of the site effectively as well as deploying resources appropriately and continuing to improve its project management.
The findings of its investigation are expected to be published this autumn.
