Sellafield corpse mystery

The UK nuclear reactor at Sellafield has long been a cause of concern in Ireland because if its close proximity to the Irish sea. High profile campaigns to have the Sellafield plant closed have come from the likes of The Irish goverment and Irish celebrities, such as Bono of U2.
The anti Sellafield campaigns are set to take on more urgency following disturbing news of cover ups in the UK.
An enquiry by the British government into claims that body parts of deceased Sellafield workers were retained has been widened to include other nuclear sites in Britain. The inquiry was looking into claims that bodyparts from around 65 Sellafield workers who died were removed without the knowledge of their families. But now the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has examined records dating back 45 years to see if such procedures were carried out at other nuclear sites. This extension of enquiry followed a revellation by the UK Atomic Energy Authority that body samples were taken at a site in Oxfordshire up until at least the early 1980s and possibly at other facilities. The UKAEA also believes it may have involved individuals who did not work at nuclear sites.
The inquiry is expected to report within a matter of months.
