Fission chip fat fit for the road
[The Cumberland News, 13 November] Sellafield could be part of a new fuel cycle when used cooking oil from its six staff canteens is converted into biodiesel by a local farmer. James Stanley, whose land lies close to the Sellafield complex in Cumbria, is in talks over waste oil amounting to some 10,000 litres per month. To compliment his forthcoming biodiesel facility Stanley is also planning to build an anerobic digestor - fuelled by pigswill and silage - to warm the cooking oil with renewable heat before processing. The digester will cost £1.1 million ($1.8 million) and could be operating in nine months, subject to local permission. Stanley hopes to sell the nuclear biodiesel to Cumbria County Council.
