The Irish Sea has been subject to heavy radioactive pollution by the first British weapons grade 239 plutoniumPlutonium is a radioactive, metallic, chemical element. It has the symbol Pu and the atomic number 94. Its atomic weight is 244. 06, its density 19,800 kg/m3. It is the element used in most modern nuclear weapons. The most important isotope of plutonium i nuclear production plant and power station at Windscale. An estimated 250 kg of plutoniumPlutonium is a radioactive, metallic, chemical element.

The Irish Sea has undergone a series of dramatic changes over the last 20 000 years as the last ice ageFor the animated movie, see Ice Age (movie . For the band, see Ice Age (band . An ice age is a period of long-term downturn in the temperature of Earth's climate, resulting in an expansion of the polar ice caps and mountain glaciers (" glaciation"). Glaci ended and was replaced by warmer conditions. At the height of the ice age the central part of the modern sea was probably a long freshwater lake. As the ice retreated 10 000 years ago the lake re-connected to the sea, becoming brackish and then fully saline once again.
