Foreign Corporations Operating UK Radioactive Waste Site “Self-Monitor” Radioactive Air Emissions: Drigg on the Irish Sea

The public relies on the Environment Agency and other regulators to protect health and the environment from the nuclear industry’s radioactive liquid and gaseous emissions. BUT the Environment Agency relies on the nuclear industry providing documentation of their own self monitoring. The nuclear industry is out of control …literally.

Drigg
French State Owned AREVA, Swedish Studsvik & California URS “Self Monitor” Radioactive Waste Gaseous Emissions in the UK at Drigg Radioactive waste dump, which they operate. Scandal-ridden AREVA would be bankrupt, if it were not a French State owned company, supported by the French taxpayer (and apparently the British and US taxpayer).

Two of the consortium members running the Drigg radioactive waste dump – URS and AREVA- are consortium members at the WIPP nuclear waste dump which has had major problems with emissions of radiation into the air.
WIPP 22 May 2014
WIPP nuclear waste accident led to unplanned gaseous radioactive emissions
Since that time URS was sold to AECOM (finalized Oct. 2014), also of California.
