A worker at Sellafield nuclear plant in Cumbria has received a settlement of more than £1 million after losing his leg following an accident at work.

Kenneth Brown, 64, was a mechanical fitter employed by subcontractor Johnson Controls at Sellafield.

Mr Brown, who was backed by his union Unite and represented by union solicitors Thompsons, was knocked down by a "cherry-picker" or mobile elevated working platform driven by another Johnson employee, and which Mr Brown was escorting.
