Radio Active Liquid Fine €9.03 per Litre
Carlisle Court, in Cumbria, just over the water from the County Down, and Louth coastline, yesterday ordered the British Nuclear Group to pay almost €750,000 in fines for a radio active leak which occured 18 months ago and resulted in the shutting down of the nuclear power station for a period.
An estimated 83,000 litres of radio active liquid was released into the Irish Sea over a period of time, and the fine represents charge of €9.03 per litre.
The overall fine was described by some politicians last night as a pittance, but it also highlights the realistic danger that we live in, as a result of the proximity of that constantly malfunctioning nuclear power plant.
