Irish politicians have reacted angrily to reports that the Sellafield nuclear power station is to increase the amounts of nuclear waste that it processes.

The British Nuclear Fuel board says that the new measure is part of a move to clean up their power plant in Dounreay in Scotland.

Sellafield will now take the waste that is produced by the Scottish plant and filter it through their own controversial nuclear waste disposal system.

The Green Party here has called on the Government to take a strong line against the move.
