Sounds like we did a similar set of school trips, I remember standing in a big loud hall on top of the Sellafield reactor, and down inside electric mountain by the big turbines. I was most sad that they don't do tours at the moment, I wanted to take my daughter there.

You could also visit the Wylfa nuclear plant on Anglesey. Not sure when tours stopped (probably due to security) but you could see the reactor. All closed now.
You may not have heard, but they had a little trouble there at one point, I wouldn't take a kid there.
Are you referring to the Windscale fire of 1957, or something else?

I remember visiting the Sellafield visitor centre as a kid in the 1990s. It was great.

What are you referring to?
