The following lists provide outline details of papers submitted at the Windscale
Inquiry and donated by Professor Sir Frederick Warner (one of the Inquiry's
Assessors). In addition to the Inquiry's 1978 report, by the Hon. Mr. Justice
Parker, various works have been published relating to its findings, including
for example, Pearce (D.W.) Decision making for energy futures: a case study
of the Windscale Inquiry. SSRC. 1979.
The quantity of material assessed during the Inquiry was extensive and therefore
selectivity has been exercised in preparing the lists. (Earlier boxes of papers
have had their contents listed in greater detail, but nonetheless it is hoped
that readers are able to gain an overall view of the Archive's contents from the
various lists which have been prepared.)s it is hoped
