Full report: Protestors campaign against nuclear waste law

Anti-nuclear protesters have been demonstrating in Whitehaven against a law that allows low level nuclear waste to be dumped at a landfill site in west Cumbria.

It was introduced in 2011 but so far no such waste from outside Cumbria has arrived there.

Radiation Free Lakeland says that could change though with material coming from Scotland in particular.

It's backing local councillors in the area who oppose the plan and wants to take the issue one stage further.
