Calder is a small hamlet in Cumberland. The place has become in effect absorbed by the Sellafield nuclear complex, sitting on the edge of the wider complex but with a role at the very heart of it, since here was built the Calder Hall Nuclear Power Station.
Calder Hall Nuclear Power Station was the world's first nuclear power station when it opened in 1956.[1] Today, Calder is overshadowed by the Sellafield nuclear plant—
