Britain’s $70BN Battle To Clean Europe’s Most Hazardous Nuclear Building

Stock footage of professionals nodding = thumbs not up

so what about the dragon reactor at winfrith Dorset ???

I'd hardly call this the most hazardous. More like chernobyl.

I live next to Hanford plant in Washington USA and it is in even a worse state.

Not a mop and bucket job this, lads. Might have to get the brillo pads out. And some bleech.

Cockroft's follies were seriously worthwhile. The sizewell accident.

Yeah, very ecological and economical energy 😱 the nuclear energy just dumps it's lethal waste for future generations. Yeah, keep it safe for 100000 years while the civilisation exists for few thousand years.

since nuclear waste has to be managed in perpetuity for many thousands of years, it's a massive net negative energy solution. It's not like coal where you can build a chimney stack and let mother nature take care of it. We'd be wasting energy produced thousands of years from now to manage nuclear waste from our current period. Again, a massive net negative energy equation. Nuclear proponents are emotional and myopic

what is this video? So much inaccurate information, mixing up names, buildings, the purpose of each... Just sounds like fear mongering to anyone who doesn't know more than this video provides about this site. Come on, put some effort into it, and make an accurate video, this is garbage.

It is pronounced Beck-tal.

just why 70 billion ?

Some of your data is misleading eg you stated that some of the waste will remain toxic for 10,000 years, lead remains toxic permanently.

Pronounced BeckTel...

This is the hidden side of nuclear power.
The waste will not be gone in 100 years!
If we continue to build new nuclear power plants, it will never go away.
Some programs are trying to encapsulate the waste in glass blocks.
That doesn't get rid of it.
Some programs are trying to bury it.
That doesn't get rid of it.
Some people want to dump it in the ocean.
That doesn't get rid of it.
Some people want to launch it into space.
That does get rid of it, unless the launch fails.

Could this waste be reprocessed like spent fuel? That separates the radioactive material (small%) from the almost non radioactive material (large%) so that only a small amount needs to be buried.

That’s not how you pronounce Rosyth

They have been downplaying the amount of ground waste contamination entering the irishsea for years ...

Big up to Lord Cockrofft for saving our country. ☘

Please make a video about the Hanford Site outside Richland, Washington State

Clearly a video produced in USA where all units of measurement must relate to "olympic swimming pools", "the weight of a house", "the size of a football field". USA is only 4% or the total world population and one of only 2 countries in the world (along with Myanmar - Burma) that are still in the dark ages and have not gone Metric.

It's almost like you didn't do any research at all and just threw in half-truths and random footage you found along the way.

i live in the uk so yes, i live near sellafield but not as close as most people in ireland!

So many inaccuracies in this, did you use Wikipedia for references?

Tony Blair couldn't a $hit about peoples health!

i don't have the facts behind the reason why they cant find someway to make better use of the waste instead of doing what mind kind does with all problems it seems and just hide it under ground.

Clickbait pish

i'm living in poland, where whe are planing to build a nuclear power plant since 80'

Terrible and inaccurate

Burying their fuck up nothing could go wrong there then. Man thinking he's god will destroy this planet.

The best way to hide this is to change its name.

Dirty unsafe forever waste disposal of Highly Radioactive waste still cannot be resolved and Billions for future generations to suffer short term greed.

So many inaccuracies here. No mention of the McMahon act of 1946, by which the USA withdrew from its closest war allies - most significantly the UK - access to nuclear secrets they had relied on us to develop. This forced the UK to begin its own ‘race against time’ to develop nuclear weapons in the face of a Russian threat - it wasn’t simply government short-sightedness that led to the waste management issues the site now faces. Many of the images in this video don’t relate to the Pile Fuel Cladding Silo … in fact one scene is from Capenhurst, a site 150 miles away by road. The regulator is the Office for Nuclear Regulation, not the ‘Office for Regulation’ - I mean the clue is in the subject matter, right?. And the number of stock clips with American actors is frankly appalling. I could go on. Lots of true stuff here, but it’s so riddled with errors and crap it’s valueless.

What a mess of a video. Please fact check what you post!!

Clean energy

That's over £140 billion.
Dont pretend americas economy is better than it is.

This is a trash video. poorly researched, stock footage, amazingly unengaging voiceover and completely anodyne. would not recommend

So much inaccurate info. Totally laughable. Reported as misinformation.

AI made video. Junk

Nuclear power, they call it "environmentally friendly." I say no more.

And they want to cut the funding to get rid of it. 🙄

Totally bollockcs

Also which this video fails to mention many beaches near this are contaminated by radiation however this is being put under the rug and still is

This is why we don't have molten salt reactors, no nuclear weapons

Idiot meddlers. They should leave the whole project for another 100 years when nuclear technology will be massively better and today's waste will be tomorrow's resource.

"To Clean Europe’s Most Hazardous Nuclear Building"
meanwhile chernobyl and kyshtym.

This video has so many glaring inaccuracies, and so many images that have nothing to do with Windscale, Sellafield or Calder Hall and what the voice-over in its garbled fashion is struggling to describe, that you should delete it and try your hand at something else. (I worked at Sellafield in the late 1970s.)

But the fairground claws are rigged to slightly open most of the time, to allow the toy not be to gripped. Hopefully they dont do the same 😂

Still so much debate around nuclear energy, is it still the way forward?
