flag Sellafield, England’s oldest nuclear site, dominates Whitehaven’s economy and limits youth opportunities despite offering stable jobs.

flag In Whitehaven, England, Sellafield—the continent’s oldest nuclear site—shapes nearly every aspect of life, employing about 60,000 people, mostly locals, in decommissioning work expected to continue until at least 2125. flag The site dominates the economy, influencing careers, daily routines, and local funding for projects like transport upgrades and youth programs. flag While nuclear apprenticeships offer strong pay and stability, many young residents feel limited in pursuing creative or non-nuclear paths due to lack of support, underfunded schools, and few alternative job opportunities, leading some to describe their future as defined solely by one industry.
