I grew up in Abingdon, and my parents delighted in telling me stories of how sirens would often go off in Culham, shortly followed by announcements that parents should get their children inside and wash them down in the bath because there'd been a minor nuclear incident
That was about 30 years ago, so we're about halfway there then

My step father worked at UKAEA and fusion was the next big thing then. He's been dead 20 years and retired 15 years before that.
