"I remember watching a documentary on Windscale/Sellafield, and back in t'day they just dumped the spend rods in to a swimming pool that was on site."
Was that the one on BBC4 last month? they did a whole night about nuclear - still on iPlayer I believe and well worth a watch.
They went into detail about the outdoor ponds that they dumped everything in - basically the number one concern was producing enough material for the h bomb so nut much thought was put into the mess left behind - which they are cleaning up now.
