> La Hague dumps radioactive waste liquids into the North Sea.

That would be a long pipeline, because La Hague is facing the channel, not the north sea.

Sorry, it flows from the channel into the North Sea.

The Hague is closer to the Irish sea, and currents at that location tend to push to the atlantic rather than into the North sea.

Scientific studies show its pollution reaches the North Sea. Simple current maps show current flows through the channel into the North Sea. However, thank you for highlighting it also pollutes the Irish Sea, channel and Atlantic.
