SHUT IT DOWN before it MELTS DOWN!!!

585 cracks at Scotland’s last remaining nuclear reactor

Leah Gunn Barrett, Jul 02, 2025

.Cracks in the graphite core of the Torness
nuclear reactor in East Lothian, Scotland’s last remaining nuclear power
station, have risen to 585, the highest number ever, igniting fears of a
nuclear meltdown and calls to shut it down. During a March inspection, the
585 cracks were found in the bricks in Reactor 1’s central core area,
which are key components for cooling and keeping the reactor from melting
down. The Ferret obtained documents released under FOIA from the Office for
Nuclear Regulation (ONR), that the parlous state of the graphite core posed
a “significant challenge” to keep the ageing plant operating safely
over the next five years.
