The specialists have been clearing nuclear sludge and hard-to-reach equipment from the pond.
Divers have entered a nuclear fuel storage pond for the first time in 65 years.
Records show it was last entered in 1958 to repair a broken winch. Divers are working in shifts to clear sludge. Robots have been used to retrieve and "safely store" the bulk of equipment from the pond but it "remains one of the most complex decommissioning challenges in the world and a priority project for Sellafield", the spokesman added.
