This week’s #ThrowbackThursday is the iconic Windscale Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (WAGR) - the pioneer for the UK fleet of AGR reactors. This shows the removal of the heat exchangers from the reactor building which was a major decommissioning milestone. #Sellafield #nuclear

This week’s #photofriday is dedicated to a radiation detection instrument. Chosen by Eleanor, from our communications team, she said: “It might not look like much but without this tool and our health physics teams, we wouldn’t be able to operate the site safely.” #sellafield

We're returning to where it all began for PFCS for this week's #throwbackthursday Through decades of site operations this waste store has stood proud for more than 70 years. We're now routinely retrieving from the silo, with 18 storage boxes now full. ow.ly/JEGj50VLb1y

James, one of our site photographers recently attended a Sellafield safety, health, environment & quality conference and took this image of a model loco with waste flasks James said: "I like the idea of how we start off small to create something bigger - from model to reality."

SPOT the robot dog has become a regular feature at Sellafield & a great mascot for the range of robotic tools & innovations that are transforming the way we work. Sam, one of our site photographers, met one this week at an event, which we're using for Photo Friday Thanks Sam!

Did you know we are home to one of the biggest portfolios of major construction projects in the UK today? At Sellafield we are building on an epic scale to provide safe & secure storage of nuclear waste and materials Any guesses what facility we're talking about from this image?

This week's #photofriday is a perfect example of how an image can convey the complexity of the work that we do here at Sellafield Completing the roof slab on SRP required 12 weeks of work, over 2,700 cubic metres of concrete to be poured and pumped to heights up to 30 metres 👏

We were delighted to host John Fingleton, Nuclear Regulator Taskforce lead and colleagues to our site. The visitors heard how regulation of decommissioning nuclear sites in the UK, including Sellafield, is a large part of existing nuclear regulatory activity. #sellafield

This week's #throwbackthursday is a far cry from today's modern emergency arrangements. Wonder whether this was part of a regular training exercise or if they were just trying out a new piece of equipment! Either way, it certainly looks like they have everything under control!

We regularly fly drones around the Sellafield site for data collection but for some situations a helicopter is best for the job. The job was to capture a moment in time for our new site aerials.

It's not all about the external shots for our Throwback feature! This week, we're taking you inside one of our legacy facilities. Standing in the oldest part of the site, the Magnox Swarf Storage Silo has been storing nuclear waste for over 60 years. What year was this taken?

Isn't it amazing how a different angle can give us a whole new perspective? This impressive chimney towers above the rest on the site and is known as the SAV project, which began operating in 2016. Thank you to Thomas, a guest photographer, who captured this unique shot!

We were delighted to host a non-executive visit this week from DESNZ, who visited the site and took the opportunity to walk around and view progress being made. They also saw first-hand one of our largest construction projects, SRP. Department for Energy Security and Net Zero #decommissioning #progress

For this week's Photo Friday, we are marking yesterday's World Environment Day, with an image from the recycling centre on the Sellafield site. The theme, beating plastic pollution highlights the fact that plastic waste is an ever-growing environmental problem. #beatplastic
