I didn’t know about the Windscale fire or cover up. Although the production of plutonium is mentioned in the Wikipedia article I linked.
The primary purpose of both plants was to produce weapons-grade plutonium for the UK’s nuclear weapons programme, but they also generated electrical power for the National Grid.

I don’t feel any safer with the French doing it as they have also had accidents. (Understandable with new technology) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France
As for China, would we even know if they’d had accidents …
Actually yes, because radioactive leaks are very detectable.
I was just teasing, of course. IDK if the other players were luckier or saner. The Windscale piles were definitely quite insane, though.
