Heysham Power Station
This is the actual nuclear flask used in the Old Dalby crash test in 1984, when Peak Class 46 No. 46009 and four coaches were deliberately crashed into the flask at 90mph. The loco and coaches were destroyed and cut up on site but the damage to the flask was limited to the bent cooling fins seen here and the sealed load area remained intact. The flask is now on display near the Visitor Centre at Heysham Power Station.
