All birds to be registered

[Steven P]

reminds me of a story I was told - one of our Nuclear facilities had to put covers on a water tank... local woman feeds the birds every morning, birds fly off to pond for a swim and a drink, next morning go back for food and a poo, her garden was glowing.

 

Cannot tag the wild birds.

That's B30, commonly known as dirty thirty at sellafield.

 

Seagulls would sit on the water, absorb a little radiation and poo all over the lake district, leaving a radioactive trace wherever they went.

 

It's currently in the process of being cleaned up.
