Cumbrians Opposed to a Radioactive Environment ( CORE ) is a non-political , non-profit organisation , located in Barrow-in-Furness , which since 1980 has campaigned against all aspects of the operation of Sellafield , formally Windscale and the site of the 1957 reactor fire . Issues of current interest are radioactive air and sea discharges , resultant environmental contamination , and the health detriment to local communities and wildlife . As well as preparing compensation cases for Sellafield workers , CORE has taken part in many direct action campaigns which have resulted in a string of injunctions .
