Sellafield is a nuclear power station and this was a photograph I made just after the Chernobyl nuclear accident in Russia. The rain that had fallen on Cumbria after this event was radioactive and the meat of sheep that had eaten contaminated grass was unfit for human consumption for many months. Greenpeace used this photograph to illustrate one of their campaigns.

About a year later I returned to this location to find that the sight line from the churchyard to the power station was blocked by a trestle with a pile of 40 foot long tree trunks in it. I don't know whether British Nuclear Fuels owns the field next to the churchyard but my photograph had obviously bothered someone.
