Großbritannien sitzt auf 120 Tonnen Plutonium aus ihren Windscale/Sellafield-Zeiten.
There is also 90,000 tons of less dangerous depleted uranium in warehouses in the UK, also without an end use.
Immerhin kleckern die Briten nicht, sie klotzen.
The closing of the last reprocessing plant, as with all nuclear endeavours, does not mean the end of the industry, in fact it will take at least another century to dismantle the many buildings and clean up the waste. In the meantime, it is costing £3 billion a year to keep the site safe.
