if it is heer johnny get it sent down to london and get the underground dump built there as we dont want it

The majority of you commenting need to understand one thing.....THE WASTE IS HERE..... Now how do we deal with it? Above or below ground are the choices we face. Looking at this logically if there was to be a breach of containment would you rather it occurred 500 metres below ground and take thousands of years to reach the surface by which time it will have decayed massively, or have it on the surface and face an immediate problem......over to you intellectuals .

Could'nt agree more Orange Peel.

Even our local MP's are appearing to accept that we are just being used as a dustbin by the mandarins in London.

Meanwhile the loyal Sellafield employees are realising they are dispensible pawns in the ''big bucks for the Yanks'' process.

Time to say enough is enough, both scientifically and morally, for the future generations of Cumbria.

Together and United, Cumbrians can save the future from a land blighted for thousands and thousands of years...search your consienses mums, dads, nans and granda's....it's now or never.

It would be nice to see ALL the councils speaking together on this and saying a big NO to hundreds of thousands of years of worry about high level waste. Can this generation put that worry onto their descendants?

If it is right to bury the waste, sorry store it in a repository, then the best geological area must be used as opposed to a council area who may say yes. So the geological check must be carried out over the whole of Britain and then let the best areas be allowed to be chosen., 'cos that is what the Civil Servants in London will do. SO SAY A BIG NO!

and what's going to be done about it then its a very big hole and at least SITA had a plan of restoring it safely ...what most likley to happen is that iit is turned in a rubish tip...and then we will all be complaining but for the consul its all about who gives the most money!

Bury it under the Houses of Parliament, and keep your fingers crossed.

true enuff we dont want it on our door step, you could try building a long pipe and pump it out to the isle of man and the irish.... oh no youv tried thatn lol

i say it shouldnt be allowed so good on them its nucular waste so as the other guy said give it to london are we that desperate for jobs and economey cmon everyone japan wante work but diddt want what haqppned!!!!! KEEP IT AWAY FROM CUMBRIA THERE IS ENOUGH RUBBISH FROM THE NUCULER SITE WITH OUT MORE!!

The water tables in Cumbria are very high. Sooner or later you will be drinking it throughout Cumbria, mark my words.

Chuch at least get your facts right ....it was the county council not copeland council who turned it down. Personally people need to realise that the waste already exists it is currently stored safely at the Sellafield site, however a decision needs to be made for the long term management ,again my views are that the communities need a substantial benefits package ie first class facilities for sport and leisure plus maximum employment to end the problems facing the deprived areas in Allerdale and Copeland.
