There is an interesting documentary about how Britain dealt with nuclear materials despite not having remote locations like the US. It may be "Windscale: Britain's Biggest Nuclear Disaster", but I'm sorry if that's the wrong title.

Saw that recently on YouTube. A plutonium fire in an air cooled reactor; what a mess.

Luckily the chimney had a filter - known as a cockcrofts folly when it was constructed.
