Around 1,300 contractors based at Sellafield have walked out over a dispute between two companies about who owns a piece of scaffolding.

The union UNITE is claiming its members may not be insured to touch the equipment.

The main contractor Doosan Babcock has said it’s in talks with unions to try and resolve the matter.
