For this week's #throwbackThursday we're taking a look back at how we began storing Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) on the Sellafield site. The first purpose-built facility designed for long-term interim storage of ILW, was the Encapsulated Product Store 1 (EPS1), which came online in the mid 1990's. ILW is retrieved, size-reduced and encapsulated in cement inside robust stainless-steel containers before being safely stacked and stored in vaults, ensuring easy retrieval and inspection while being kept safe. This store was the first of its kind at Sellafield and its design blueprint was then used to build EPS2, which used a modular storage solution to increase it's storage capacity. Any guesses what year EPS3 came online on the Sellafield site? Drop your answers in the comments and let's see who knows their Sellafield history! 📷 Inside a storage vault in EPS1 on the Sellafield site #Sellafield #NuclearHistory #IntermediateLevelWaste #NuclearStorage #NuclearEngineering #WasteManagement #UKNuclear #SellafieldLtd #decommissioning
