Jump To Comment: 2 1As far as I can remember about 5 to 10 years ago NewScientist magazine carried an article on radioactive contamination somewhere in around London. It was caused when a small experimental reactor in the 1950s was decommisioned and it was dumped by contractors who dumped parts of it in an ordinary landfill dump.

Actually here's a report from the Ecologist that describes the prosecution of the UK Atomic Energy Authority for dumping nuclear waste in a landfill in Scotland. So this type of activity was not unusual a number of years ago.
