Factbox - Britain's Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant

British nuclear reprocessing plant Sellafield said it had detected elevated levels of radioactivity at one of its on-site monitors and was operating at reduced staffing levels on Friday. PLANT Since 2005, the plant has been owned by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and operated by Sellafield Ltd. In 2008, the NDA contracted the management of Sellafield Ltd to Nuclear Management Partners, a consortium of U.S. company URS, British company AMEC, and France's Areva. Facilities at the site include THORP (thermal oxide reprocessing plant) and the Magnox nuclear fuel reprocessing plant.
