Enda Kenny called on the Government to declare immediate and unconditional "war" on the British nuclear industry.

In a statement this evening, the British Embassy defended Sellafield's safety record. The statement said that Mr Kenny's description of the plant as "apocalyptic" would not raise the debate to the level that it deserved.
