The Magnox Encapsulation Plant at Sellafield was designed to process solid, intermediate-level radioactive waste, packaging it into a convenient form which provides for efficient and simple handling, transport and storage.
The encapsulation process takes place inside heavily shielded concrete cells which ensures maximum operator protection from the radioactive swarf.
