It used to be a joke in the UK that after a nuclear incident 'they' would change the name of the facility so that people wouldn't make the connection. I remember hearing this in the context of the Windscale Fire [0], after which the site was referred to as Sellafield. In fact Sellafield is a multi-function nuclear site [0] of which Windscale was just one facility of many.
