The National Audit Office indicated that the tanks at Sellafield have deteriorated to such an extent that their contents pose a "significant risk" to people. There was no mention of meteorites or anything like that. The office stated that the actual condition of the tanks has deteriorated to the point that without ever being hit by a meteorite or Scud missile or anything else, their contents pose a significant risk to people and the environment.
