The last paragraph of the section, titled "Suspect's Suicide" states that Sellafield closed its gates during the event, and that it "...was the first lock-down in the history of the plant." In fact, it was almost certainly the second. The first lock-down was in October 1957 when one of the nuclear piles caught fire. Nothing was let in or out - people or goods. My father was working there at the time, and he (and his colleagues) were not allowed to leave the site for nearly 24 hours.

The title "Prime Minister" (e.g. "Prime Minister Rishi Sunak") is technically incorrect but is sometimes used erroneously outside the United Kingdom'
