Workers may have sabotaged plutonium fuel at Sellafield. British Nuclear
Fuels (BNFL), the state-owned company that runs the plant, suspects that a screw
and 鈥渕iscellaneous solid debris鈥� found in two fuel rods last September were put
there deliberately. The company points out that the contaminated fuel was
spotted before it was dispatched to Japan. An internal investigation was unable
to explain the contamination. BNFL鈥檚 chief executive announced his resignation
on Monday, but the company did not link this to a recent scandal over the faking
of safety checks.
