| Artist/Maker |
Poster featuring the text 'THE WINDSCALE FILE' in white. The text is flanked by two stars inside a stamp-like box that sits diagonally on the page. Beneath it is the central image: a metal trash can with a slightly tilted lid. The can bears a radioactive hazard symbol and appears weathered, with streaks of slime dripping down its sides. A faint glow and wisps of vapour emerge from beneath the lid. The can is beneath a spotlight, transitioning from bright white in the foreground to black in the background. Underneath the image is bold black text asking, 'Is radioactivity from Windscale killing the Irish Sea?'
