UK nuclear watchdog orders Sellafield to improve safety after rail wagon accident at site.

The UK's nuclear watchdog has issued Sellafield Ltd an improvement notice after a railway wagon not properly secured rolled 60 meters and hit a stationary wagon in November 2024. Though both wagons suffered minor damage, there was no radiation risk. The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) mandates better health and safety measures for rail activities, requiring compliance by June 13, 2025, with inspections in March and April to review progress.
