Ber om umiddelbar varsling fra Sellafield

I et brev til britiske myndigheter understreker Norge viktigheten av umiddelbar varsling ved hendelser på anlegget i Sellafield. 

Brevet er undertegnet av ambassadør Bjarne Lindstrøm ved ambassaden i London og er adressert til Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.  

I brevet står det blant annet følgende: 

“The Norwegian Government has for a number of years expressed concerns over the possibility of contamination of the environment as a result of the activity at the Sellafield plants and the possible consequences for Norway. In the case of an accidental discharge, an “early warning” to the relevant Norwegian Authorities is therefore important to us. This has been requested by Norwegian Authorities on several occasions, also at Ministerial level.”  

“I trust that in the case of further accidental discharges from the Sellafield plants, the relevant Norwegian Authorities will be informed without delay.”
