If you are in the Upper Sixth and going to university to study science/engineering, the Low Level Waste Repository (LLW) at Drigg might be able to help. This is the place where they store the UK's low level radioactive waste (eg things like luminous instrument dials) until they are safe. It is near Ravenglass, south of Sellafield. The train from Wigton goes past it. They are looking for students to do a placement in the summer initially (12 - 16 weeks) and then be sponsored through university. We found the advert in The Cumberland News. I have put it up on the wall of the lab.
