THE dangers of Tory plans to let building firms do their own private safety inspections were exposed yesterday after a blitz found workers at risk on one in four sites.

STANDING above the former nuclear reactor whose core once Kept lethal radioactive doses at temperatures of 400 degrees, I felt vulnerable in a hard hat, glasses, safety boots and gloves. The fact that there was 3.5metres of concrete between my feet and the top of the steel pressure vessel was reassuring, but my very presence in this cavernous concrete building showed just how far the decommissioning of Trawsfynydd nuclear power station had come. The steel vessel had not contained any fuel since 1995 and no heat - and now had safely-contained contamination from the graphite rods used to control the nuclear reaction. Unfortunately, when the Government started building Traws in 1959, they did not plan ahead for its eventual closure. After producing electricity from 1965, worK was halted in...

Officially, it's just a factory: a medium-sized manufacturing concern with around 3,000 workers. Its inputs are the same as countless other factories: steel, aluminium, rubber, glass and plastic. But inside, by some unfathomable alchemy, these are turned into some of the most venerated and viscerally exciting products imaginable: the Ferrari road and race cars that have dominated F1 circuits and boys' bedroom walls for more than 60 years. It's more than just a factory, more than just a supercar maker. It's the headquarters of the national team: Ferrari is Italy, Italy is Ferrari. The cluster of low buildings the company has occupied on the Via Abetone in Maranello since Enzo Ferrari founded the company in 1947 are a place of pilgrimage for the tifosi, Ferrari's borderline-obsessive fans...

Climbing trees, building shelters, going on adventures... it all sounds like something from an Enid Blyton book - washed down with lashings of ginger ale. But these traditional childhood activities could be making a comeback if the National Trust has its way. NICOLA WEATHERALL reports WE'VE all heard of a "bucket list" - a plan of things to do and places to see whilst we're still in the pink - and some of you may have already written yours and are ticking them off as you go. But what about a list of "50 Things To Do Before You're 11"? This may seem a little ambitious, and rather age specific, but the National Trust says it's just the ticket to help today's young people explore the world around them. The charity has launched a nationwide campaign to encourage sofa-bound children to put d...

New state of the art sailing facilities in Dorset will be put through their paces this summer before the eyes of the world focus on the area as the host of the 2012 Olympic sailing events - with all the business and tourism spin-offs that will herald. It is often the fate of Olympic facilities to suffer the usual speculation on whether they will be ready on time - but in Dorset's case the whole scheme was delivered well ahead of deadline. Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy will host the sailing events at both the Olympics and Paralympics, bringing a long-anticipated boost to the area's economy in terms of the surge in visitors, including competitors, their entourages and spectators. Early completion of a Pounds 4 million project to improve Royal Yachting Association faciliti...
