pics of the entrance???? I wanna see how someone got through the blockade they put up after my last trip down there because however they did it its pretty impressive to see someone back in there

If radioactive material had been kept in there i would have thought that it would have been sealed up better than what it looks like it was.

I expect all radioactive material has long since been removed and disposed of in accordance with the regs. There has been a fire down there and the place would have been incredibly contaminated if there had been anything left, and filled with concrete no doubt.

edited because of access info?
theres a post on here that says exactly where it is?

 

[fortknox0]

saying where it is is ok, but saying bout how or where you got in isnt. If people post how they get in, then entrances get sealed.

 

[madandyuk]

yeah i see your point mate will be caucious next time

drop me an email and i will show you where it is if you in the area

Going back to the radioactivity thing. Like someone said before. If this place was radioactive surely it would have been sealed at both ends in stead of just one. We got into it as have many people, it wasn't exactly difficult. Plus wouldn't they have had newer signs warning people about the dangers as apposed to an old fold out sign that looks like its been moved from the central area to the entrance.

I work with an old boy of 67yrs whos dad actually worked in this place. It has just this week been slightly cleared by a gardener and so is easy to find. The entrance has been sealed with 50x50 ms tube in a horizontal vertical criss cross pattern. Ive been inside and its very dark. Loads of junk in there. The far entrance was sealed when the dual carriageway had some work done many years ago and as the place was no longer in use it was just easier that way.

The thing set into the floor was used to store radioactive sources used to check the pipes made at the site didn't have any cracks in them. Not especially hot but enough to detect. Unlikely to have left anything higher than background radiation levels.
