Sellafield leak worries Norway

About three weeks ago the British nuclear plant Sellafield leaked 20 tonns of highly radioactive fluid into a tank. The wast contains both plutonium and uranium mixed with salpetre. This happened without British officials telling their Norwegian counterparts about it despite the agreement between the to countries to alarm each other if such an incident happens. And this not only worries Norwegian officials, but also Norwegian environmental organisations.

Today we can read in the online edition of The Independent that the British Prime Minister, Mr. Tony Blair demands nuclear power to protect high "living standard".

Doesn't Mr. Blair think Norway has high enough living standard to be protected? Or to be warned if such nuclear emissions happens?
