Hear that word and what comes to mind? Dundalk? Holyhead? Well its actually a new tv series about the nuclear disaster. Normally I never watch tv drama box set type series but this looks like it might be somewhat interesting. I don't have Sky Atlantic however so going to have to get it off Q Man on a dodgy dvd.

About 10 years ago I got lectured over a pint by a nuclear engineer about the causes of the disaster, and how it was entirely preventable, and a product of unbelievable mismanagement. People though still point to it as a reason to avoid using nuclear.

It was 100% avoidable, they were doing a routine test of what would happen if there was a power outage but didn't follow the set checklist for it. There was also design faults when initially building as they didn't factor in any emergency protocols for what eventually happened as they didn't think it would happen

There would have been a ‘Chernobyl’ at Sellafield in 1957, it seems widespread disaster was prevented by an incredibly brave gamble by an employee.
I’m sure that nuclear scientists will tell you that they are safe, they probably are if things go smoothly, but the cancer rates in the areas near Sellafield can’t just be a coincidence.

But that’s the difference between proper management, even if it is considered a gamble, and what made the difference with Chernobyl.

It wouldn’t appear to have been proper management, based on the ‘hero of the hour’s’ account of it, although it did lead to proper management as a result.
It still doesn’t change the bizarre cancer statistics for Seascale, the closest village to Sellafield, or even in Louth and Armagh. Whether these statistics are as a result of a different kind of mismanagement, I don’t know, but something isn’t right.

Workers on the site trying to contain the radiation can only hop in for 15 mins at a time then have to be changed over and hosed down etc. Madness.
Our Planet were showing the works and the giant housing/arch that is going to cover the core to try further limit the leaks. But insane that wild animals are starting to thrive in the area. |

There is also a community that returned to the exclusion zone not long after the disaster struck. Tourists (macabre as I believe such tourism can be) also are there regularly.

I read a weird, but wonderful, article about a stag party to Chernobyl that handled the whole thing in the best possible taste.
