CRAVEN
|
[V.O.] Recently, the mines were sold to a private company, IIF, specialising in the storage of low-grade wastes. IIF is owned by Mr Robert Bennett, a free willing entrepreneur with extensive connections in the nuclear industry.

|
[V.O.] There have been persistent rumours that plutonium has been illegally stored there. These rumours have always been denied.

|
[V.O.] But in the summer of this year, a team of scientists from the ecology group GAIA, penetrated the mines. They were organised and led by a local woman, Emma Craven.

[V.O.] Since all those connected with this adventure are now dead or disappeared, it is difficult to discover what their mission was or whether it was successful.

A car accident on the motorway.

I know. I'm sorry.

Is there anything I can do?

EMMA
|
He'd just finished the report on the reservoir. It points conclusively to Northmoor as a contamination source.

That lets Sellafield off the hook.

EMMA
|
Yeah, they're jumping for joy up there, but what's going to happen here?
|

CRAVEN
|
It's none of your business.

The analysis suggests the source has to be a reprocessing plant. IIF deny they've got anything like that down there.

CRAVEN
|
Spent fuel rods have been known to leak
|

EMMA
|
No, Dad. It was done by some sort of laser operation, which they also deny.
|

The only way to find out is to go down there.

Northmoor is a nuclear waste plant. Anyone who breaks in there will be met with ultimate force. It's the most dangerous business in Britain.

CRAVEN

[O.S.] Don't even think of it.

|
 [V.O.] The location of plutonium at Northmoor raises doubts about the status of current agreements with the British Government. While our own need for plutonium is at a premium and British reserves are already at an all-time high, evidence that they have further stocks is something of a blow to those who advised us to put our faith in the UK.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
CRAVEN
|
[V.O.] Is it possible that these stocks are not the product of the British reprocessing plant at Sellafield? This raises the sinister question as to where that source might be, and for what purpose it is being made? As a matter of priority, we must find out what's going on at Northmoor.
